COVID-19 is spreading into Indonesia and has reached tens of thousands of cases as of September 30, 2020. It was recommended by the American Public Health Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to remain physically active during COVID-19 quarantine by regularly visiting parks and green spaces as it can protect the body against the consequences of quarantine impacting physical and mental health. In this research, green space was monitored by using remotely sensed data. The green space distribution was obtained from the calculation of the Greenness Index from Landsat-8 Surface Reflectance Tier 1 satellite imagery processed through the Google Earth Engine platform. This study was conducted to determine the value of Greenness Index (GI), Case Fatality Rate (CFR) value due to COVID-19, and the relationship between them in 42 sub-districts in DKI Jakarta in the period of April to September 2020. Twenty-eight subdistricts (67%) showed negative correlation values that indicated that more green space in a region affects lower CFR growth.
