International audience; Since the emergence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), more than 165 million people have been infected all around the world (as of May 2021). The COVID-19 virus is highly contagious, especially in large crowded spaces. To prevent the infection and slow the transmission of the virus, the World Health Organization recommends wearing a mask, washing hands regularly, and maintaining a distance of at least one meter between people. To support this prevention, we propose a connected object based on LoRa technology to monitor the social distancing of one meter between people in queues. The proposed system uses infrared array sensor MLX60940 to detect people through their body temperature. Based on this output, we developed an algorithm to verify social distancing. The main advantage of this node is its ability to preserve the privacy of detected people and consume less energy compared to camera-based systems. Experimental results show that the proposed node can detect up to six persons per queue with an accuracy of 93% when the distance between people is below 80 cm.

Background: Medical students being the doctors of tomorrow play very important role in community health awareness, especially in emergency situation like Covid 19. This research was under taken to study the knowledge, attitude and practices of medical students regarding COVID 19 pandemic. Material and method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in the month of May, 2021, among medical students. A 33-item web-based survey questionnaire was developed to assess knowledge, attitude and practice among the medical students. Results: Total 342 valid responses were studied. Male to female ratio was 0.93 in the subjects. Common sources of information about COVID-19 were internet, social media and television. Most of the medical students were aware of the common modes of spread of infection. 80.7 % knew the correct incubation period. Only 35.1 percent of students thought that mild form of disease is most common. Nearly all knew that washing hands and wearing mask are important measures for prevention from COVID-19. Most of them feel that disease is dangerous (91.5%) and 43.3% are scared to do hospital work. Conclusion: Present study focus on a decent level of existing knowledge, practice, and attitude of COVID-19 among medical students. © 2021, MedSci Publications. All rights reserved.

This work examines a mathematical model of COVID-19 among two subgroups: low-risk and high-risk populations with two preventive measures; non-pharmaceutical interventions including wearing masks, maintaining social distance, and washing hands regularly by the low-risk group. In addition to the interventions mentioned above, high-risk individuals must take extra precaution measures, including telework, avoiding social gathering or public places, etc. to reduce the transmission. Those with underlying chronic diseases and the elderly (ages 60 and above) were classified as high-risk individuals and the rest as low-risk individuals. The parameter values used in this study were estimated using the available data from the Johns Hopkins University on COVID-19 for Brazil and South Africa. We evaluated the effective reproduction number for the two countries and observed how the various parameters affected the effective reproduction number. We also performed numerical simulations and analysis of the model. Susceptible and infectious populations for both low-risk and high-risk individuals were studied in detail. Results were displayed in both graphical and table forms to show the dynamics of each country being studied. We observed that non-pharmaceutical interventions by high-risk individuals significantly reduce infections among only high-risk individuals. In contrast, non-pharmaceutical interventions by low-risk individuals have a significant reduction in infections in both subgroups. Therefore, low-risk individuals’ preventive actions have a considerable effect on reducing infections, even among high-risk individuals.

Objectives We aimed to investigate whether the implementation of personal protective measures against coronavirus disease 2019 reduced the transmission of influenza-like illnesses. Methods We followed 758 international students from 95 countries located in five continents from October 2020 to March 2021. Their frequency of wearing masks, social distancing, washing hands, and avoiding crowded places as well as their reported cases of influenza-like illnesses were examined. We used Kaplan-Meier analysis to compare the occurrence of symptoms of influenza-like illnesses among participants who adhered with those who did not adhere to the personal protective measures. Results From October 2020 to March 2021, 139 (18%) students reported symptoms of influenza-like illnesses. The survival analysis showed that students who frequently wore face masks, exercised physical distancing, and disinfected their hands had a reduced risk of influenza-like illnesses. We found a two-fold increased risk of influenza-like illnesses among participants who did not implement all the personal protective measures as compared with those who adhered to the measures (Hazard ratio=2.16, 95%CI=1.53-3.05, P

The Covid-19 pandemic situation has disrupted activities. Corona virus can spread quickly to anyone and can cause death. Therefore, health is an important aspect to pay attention to at this time. Cleanliness is also an important thing that needs attention because it plays an important role in preventing transmission and making the pandemic end soon. However, it turns out that there are still many people who do not understand the importance of cleanliness as a way to maintain health. This form of community service activity, with the aim of increasing public understanding and awareness during the pandemic, especially on Jalan Reformation of RT 05 RW 01, Pondok Aren District, Pondok Aren Village, South Tangerang, emphasizes the importance of maintaining cleanliness during the pandemic. The socialization activities were supported by the construction of simple and automatic hand washing stations and the distribution of masks. In addition, the focus of socialization is also aimed at groups of children. Giving gifts to children is also done as a form of appreciation for using masks in a proper way and getting used to the habit of diligently washing hands. It is hoped that this community service program can achieve the main target which is break the chain of Covid-19 virus spread.

Maintaining health is very important to be applied from an early age, especially during the covid-19 pandemic. This is important because children are prone to disease because their immune system is not as strong as adults in general. This study aims to present and describe the implementation of healthy living behaviors of early childhood during the covid-19 pandemic. This research includes a type of field research with a qualitative approach. The data source uses primary data in interviews, observations, documentation, and questionnaires—data analysis techniques using the Miles and Huberman models. The results of this study show that the implementation of healthy living behaviors of early childhood has been carried out well following the proposal of the Directorate of Paud Development in 2020 on four healthy living behaviors in schools, namely: washing hands with soap, drinking water, and eating healthy and hygienic food, as well as disposing of waste in its place and keeping the environment clean and safe.

One of the recommended solutions to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak is the implementation of health protocols, such as washing hands, wearing masks, maintaining social distance, staying away from crowds, and reducing mobility. However, the implementation of health protocols has raised philosophical questions on the meaning of personal freedom. Do health protocols limit or even hinder a person's freedom? This paper aims to look at the meaning of personal freedom in dealing with health protocols during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on literature studies, the author tries to redefine individual freedom in the context of dealing with a pandemic. Personal freedom is placed in the context of the spirit and efforts to tackle the problems of this pandemic together.

Background Personal glucose meters, primarily designed for self-control of glucose concentration in patients with diabetes, are frequently used in clinical practice as point-of-care equipment. The procedure of washing hands with water and soap before testing, as recommended by the manufacturer of personal glucose meters, in hospital wards is often difficult to fulfil and is replaced by disinfecting the place of blood sampling with isopropyl alcohol. Aim The purpose of the research was to evaluate the effect of different disinfecting procedures on glycemia measurement in capillary blood using personal glucose meters. Materials and methods Four measurements of glycemia were taken in each of 50-volunteer group using Accu-Check Performa (Roche, Swiss) glucose meter using different procedures: washing hands with soap and drying them (1), disinfection with isopropyl alcohol and waiting for the disinfectant to evaporate (2) and the immediate puncture after disinfection. In the latter case two kind of single-use lancets were use – typical for adult (3) and smaller preferred by diabetics or children (4). Results Paired T-student test showed no statistically significant difference between measurements 1st and 2nd 95% CI (−4.282 to 0.322), p = 0.09. However, the comparison between 1st/3rd and 1st/4th showed statistically significant difference, 95% CI (−4.964 to −0.796), p = 0,0077 (p Conclusions The procedure of disinfection when fluid completely evaporates has no effect on glucose measurements. Sampling the wet finger influences results of glucose measurement but observed changes were clinically irrelevant.

However, their prevention and treatment are still a topical issue. Purpose: To present the public awareness on infectious diseases taking into account the knowledge of people with medical education. Material and method: The study was conducted by means of the author's questionnaire. 158 questionnaires were collected and analysed. Results: Men and women of different age took part in the survey. Half of the respondents had medical education. The analysis showed that as many as 89.2% of the respondents were aware of the pathogenic factor of influenza, which is the virus. Only a small percentage of respondents had information regarding the number of influenza infections in Poland (10.8%) and worldwide (21.5%). Medics were aware of this in 10.0% and 28.8% respectively. Influenza was admitted by 81.0% of the respondents, while for other infectious disease (except COVID-19) the result was 75.3%. The respondents indicated as the most common route of transmission of infectious diseases the droplet route (66.5%), while fever was the typical symptom (81.0%). Washing hands turned out to be the most important prophylactic behaviour of respondents (50.6%) and especially of students (93.7%). Conclusions: Awareness of infectious diseases among Poles is not at the highest level. Those with medical education have slightly higher knowledge, but it is necessary to introduce educational programmes and update knowledge. Keywords: contagious diseases; awareness; society.

Pancasila is a guideline for Indonesians in carrying out their daily lives. Since 2020 Indonesia is in the covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to know and analyze the strengthening of Pancasila values during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through observation, interview, documentation, and literacy. The results of the research showed that the values of Pancasila should be strengthened in the face of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia. The strengthening of Pancasila value is reflected in the application of health protocols, namely, diligently washing hands, always wearing masks, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds, and refraining from the mobility of time. If the implementation of the health protocol is implemented properly then it is in line with the values contained in pancasila

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 infection spreads quickly and easily, hence people are required to obey health protocols. Attitudes play an important role in building people’s readiness to use face masks and wash hands. AIM: The study aims at analyzing several factors influencing people’s attitudes towards wearing face masks and washing hands in Indonesia. METHODS: The study employs a cross-sectional online survey involving 400 adult respondents in the Java region from July to September 2020. RESULTS: Of 400 respondents, 54.3% showed positive attitudes toward wearing face masks and 59.3% towards washing hands. The multivariate analysis showed that people’s attitudes towards wearing face masks were influenced by age and knowledge. Respondents aged 36–45 years old had positive attitudes on wearing face masks 3.9 times (p = 0.038) and aged ≥46 years old 4.1 times (p = 0.039) compared to aged 18–35 years old. Furthermore, attitudes on washing hands were influenced by gender, age groups, and knowledge. Female had positive attitudes towards washing hands 1.7 times (p = 0.029) compared to male. Respondents aged 36–45 years old had positive attitudes on washing hands 5 times (p = 0.037) and aged ≥46 years old 4.8 times (p = 0.05) compared to aged 18–35 years old. Knowledge acted as the confounding factor. CONCLUSION: The age and knowledge factors influenced positive attitude of using masks and washing hands were influenced by gender, age, and knowledge. Health education programs are recommended to increase knowledge about COVID-19, this is very helpful for the young generation of Indonesia to have a positive attitude.

Every educational institution, both state and private, has the same main task and is important in carrying out lecture activities. These three main tasks are in the form of lecture or academic activities, research activities, and community service activities. These three main activities are commonly referred to as Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi. To carry out these three activities or Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi, health and safety are needed at work. It is known today that all parts of the world have experienced the outbreak of the Coronavirus disease 2019 or Covid-19. This has a very direct impact on the process of implementing Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi. To reduce the spread of the Covid virus outbreak, the actual action is needed that can prevent the transmission of the Covid virus outbreak. The government through the Ministry of Health issued 3M guidelines in preventing and reducing the spread of the Covid virus outbreak. 3M stands for wearing a mask, washing hands, and keeping your distance. However, 3M is not enough, there need to be other actions to prevent and reduce the spread of the Covid virus outbreak in safeguarding all the academics and students of the Cilacap State Polytechnic. One of the other forms of efforts taken in handling the spread of the Covid outbreak in the Cilacap State Polytechnic environment is the manufacture of WHO standard disinfectants and the holding of regular disinfectant spraying.

The Covid-19 pandemic that has caught the attention of not only Indonesia but the rest of the world. The 3M movement, namely using masks, washing hands and keeping a distance to minimize the transmission of tuberculosis, is very useful for the eradication of TB tuberculosis. However, this is a challenge in itself for microscopic officers at the Microscopic Reference Center (MRC) in education and handling of sputum for tuberculosis patients who are currently being treated. The purpose of this study was to test VisKomLAM 1, 2, 3 and 4 in bridging communication between officers in sputum management education for tuberculosis sufferers at each examination during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research locations took MRC Tuminting, Wawonasa and Tikala Baru in Manado City and MRC Telaga in Gorontalo District. Analysis with paired t test showed a significance below 5%, which means that VisKomLAM 1, 2, 3 and 4 can bridge education from officers to tuberculosis sufferers in the Covid-19 pandemic era. It is recommended that health workers always strive to promote tuberculosis health in achieving tuberculosis elimination by 2050.

Maintaining health is very important during the current pandemic, the Covid-19 virus attacks no age, is still a child or old, so let's start a healthy lifestyle for each of us. Starting from eating healthy food, adequate nutrition and vitamins, and don't forget to apply the recommended health protocols, starting from 3M, namely using masks, washing hands with soap, maintaining distance and avoiding crowds, we must be aware of that, apply from each of us.

Washing hands with soap for 20 seconds is an effective prevention effort against various infectious diseases. In the COVID-19 pandemic, mastery of good and correct hand washing by the wider community plays a major role in efforts to prevent disease transmission. Mataram University Hospital which is a hospital that serves as a vehicle for education is the right place to apply knowledge and disseminate knowledge to the wider community, especially hospital visitors about how to wash hands in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, we do community service in the form of counseling on how to wash hands for visitors to the Mataram University Hospital. This service aims to increase the knowledge of visitors to the Mataram University Hospital on how to wash their hands. Counseling is carried out in the visitor's waiting room, both at registration, pharmacy and outpatient. Young doctors who are conducting education are also involved in this activity. Counseling is carried out by inviting the demonstrators to directly practice hand washing steps according to World Health Organization (WHO) standards. During the period from August to October, there were 7 counseling sessions and hand washing practices for visitors to the Mataram University Hospital. The media used in the counseling were banners with pictures of hand washing steps and hand sanitizers for direct practice by visitors. The involvement of young doctors and good coordination with the education and health promotion sectors of the hospital support this activity.

Corona virus is a virus that attacks the respiratory system. The high incidence of Covid-19 is due to low public awareness of applying health protocols. So the need for prevention and control efforts by complying with health protocols to wear masks, keep your distance and wash your hands properly. Washing hands is an easy routine and is important in infection control, and is the best method to prevent the transmission of microorganisms. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nurse education on the accuracy of the patient's family through hand washing in preventing Covid-19 transmission at Arifin Achmad Hospital, Riau Province. This research uses quantitative research with a quasi experimental design, with a population of 20 people. Data collection tools used observation sheets and data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate with the Wilcoxson test. The results of this study show that the average value before being given education about hand washing is low compared to the average value after being given education about hand washing. So that hand washing education is effective in increasing hand washing to prevent Covid-19 transmission with a p-value of 0.000. The results of this study are expected to be a source of information and knowledge for the nursing profession regarding the effect of providing nurse education on the accuracy of the patient's family in washing hands.

“Shedder status” or “shedder type” are commonly used terms that categorise an individual based on their ability to deposit “touch” DNA via direct contact with a surface. However, it is not yet clear how best to categorise an individual into a shedder class, or how to allocate a shedder score on a sliding scale. This study considers categorisation of participants into discrete shedder categories based on DNA quantity and profile quality data, the maintenance of their shedder status over an extended period, and explores whether different methods of deposition or collection directly from hands or other body areas are interchangeable and/or more appropriate means of determining an individual’s shedder status. The shedder categorisation of participants was possible from their handprints and remained unchanged over three years. Washing hands had limited impact and shedder categorisation was not readily possible from samples collected directly from hands, other body areas or gloves after wearing gloves for a set duration. Use of consecutive deposits may assist in establishing a participant’s shedder status. As shedder categorisation may be of relevance during activity level assessments further efforts towards the ability to do so are necessary.

Objectives: This study identified whether there is a difference in the practice of personal hygiene prevention and social distance between Korean and Nepalese university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also identified the influencing factors under each country’s response policy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey. Chi-square test, t-test, F-test and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results: This study shows that “washing hands after sneezing” as a practice for personal hygiene prevention was better observed by Nepalese students (76.0%) than Korean students (59.5%) (p

Covid-19 has become a global pandemic and affects all ages, including children. This service activity is intended to prevent the spread of Covid-19 for madrasah diniyah students. This service was carried out through health education, both lectures and demonstrations. The results of this activity revealed that the habit of proper hand washing can be instilled through the delivery of information about the importance of hand washing, 6 steps of proper hand washing, and the practice of washing hands in groups and independently.

The lack of public concern for washing hands during the Covid-19 pandemic, the authors designed an automatic sink using an arduino-based HC-SR04 ultrasound sensor to attract the public's interest. By making automatic sink technology using the HC-SR04 ultrasound sensor based on Arduino for use in hand washing by the community. This study uses experimental research that examines the effect of automatic washbasin with people's behavior in washing hands. By testing the use of water in 20 seconds, 43 people can use it in one day, and soap can be used by 6 people in one day in 5 seconds. The automatic sink using the HC-SR04 ultrasound sensor based arduino can be used with a distance that is made less than 15cm designed to be practical and sterile because it is used that does not touch faucets or soap. The conclusion of the study is that if there is an object that approaches the ultrasound sensor within a distance of less than 15cm, the water pump will be active for 20 seconds or the soap pump for 5 seconds will automatically come out. And it will run out if used for 934 seconds in 1 liter gallon or 46 people a day and the use of soap for 5 seconds will run out approximately 6 people in one day.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought forward the challenge of dispersing accurate medical information to the public rapidly. Credible and non-credible sources may impact public reactions to the virus. The purpose of this study is to assess those reactions of women located in or near Kansas. A survey was conducted in July 2020 with questions on knowledge of COVID-19, attitudes and behaviors towards COVID-19, and primary sources of information. 305 survey respondents met criteria for further analysis, and descriptive statistical analyses were applied. Participants were generally knowledgeable of the pandemic, with a mean knowledge score of 11.40 out of 13 (SD 1.3). The attitude statement with the highest rate of agreement was that "social distancing is an effective way of controlling COVID-19 spread" (n = 265, 86.9%) and that with the highest rate of disagreement was, "I am not worried about my friends' and family members health" (n = 253, 83.0%). The most-implemented behaviors as indicated by participants were avoiding contact with sick individuals and washing hands with soap and water often (n = 294, 96.4%), and the least implemented was avoiding meat consumption (n = 257, 84.3%). Finally, most participants indicated that health officials were their primary source of information (n = 215, 70.5%). Participants of this survey had fairly good knowledge of the virus. Attitudes of participants as a whole may be described as cautious without being overly fearful. Reported behaviors also align well with current public health recommendations. These responses may be reflective of where participants are receiving their information, which, for the majority, is from public health officials.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on all levels of society, including the people of Bangka. Positive cases of Covid-19 in Riding Panjang Village are still relatively high and continue to grow. This results in a high transmission rate. Therefore, this problem needs to be considered so that it is handled as soon as possible to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. Public awareness of the importance of adhering to health protocols is still very minimal, this is what has become the main cause of transmission of the Covid-19 virus. Based on these problems, there is a need for public awareness to change behavior patterns to better comply with health protocols in tackling the spread of Covid-19. With that, it is important to make an effort that can make the public's mindset aware of the importance of complying with health protocols, namely by holding outreach activities in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This socialization was conducted in Bukit Tulang Hamlet, Riding Panjang Village, Belinyu District, Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. As for the activities achieved from this socialization, the community is more concerned with complying with health protocols such as wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands.

The aim of this community service is to provide assistance to a clean and healthy lifestyle for children as an effort to prevent the transmission of the corona virus. The method used in this service is in the form of assisting a clean and healthy lifestyle, providing knowledge of the dangers of the corona virus and its prevention, the question and answer method to find out the level of understanding of children after mentoring and demonstrations to practice one of the healthy lifestyles in the form of washing hands with soap. The result of this activity is an increase in children's knowledge of clean and healthy living behaviors in children. Increased knowledge about how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, one of which is by washing hands with the right technique, this can be seen in the ability of children to demonstrate handwashing activities with soap with the correct technique after being given assistance activities.

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS Cov-2 virus which can be transmitted through air or droplets. The palm of the hand is one of the members of the body that is most occupied by viruses, bacteria and microorganisms. To avoid the spread of the COVID-19 virus, you can wash your hands in 6 steps. This community service activity in the form of health education aims to improve the behavior of a clean and healthy life by washing hands in 6 steps. The service was carried out at Inspirasi SMP with a total of 76 participants. The material was delivered by lecturing using PowerPoint media plus discussion and question and answer sessions as well as the practice of washing hands in 6 steps. All participants can wash their hands properly according to the instructions and tutorials from the service team. As many as 65% of participants stated that this community service activity was very good and provided great benefits for preventing the transmission of COVID-19 at Inspiration Junior High School. The conclusion of this service activity was carried out smoothly and successfully. Efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 need to be improved with continuous health education for various groups of society. So that nurses and other health workers can optimize preventive efforts as a counselor, negotiator, and educator

This article discusses the level of community compliance in Ponorogo district with the Covid-19 health protocol. The Covid 19 pandemic has spread on a global scale. This has implications for many sectors. In Indonesia itself has implemented the Health Protocol in every region in the regency and city. No exception in Ponorogo which also applies the health protocol. Health protocols include wearing a mask when traveling, maintaining distance and washing hands after traveling. Many impacts were felt during this pandemic. One of them is felt by traders who usually trade in the Car Free Day area who cannot sell because CFDs are eliminated. In addition, the implementation of a curfew where after 8:00 p.m. the street lights will be turned off and traders selling on the side of the road are required to close. This has led to the turnover of traders who usually open roadside stalls, especially those. even so there are still many who violate these health protocols. One of them can be seen during mask raids on motorists on the highway. The method used is descriptive qualitative method, while the theory used is the conflict of Karl Marx due to differences in interests between society and the government.
