Indonesia is currently facing a new wave of COVID-19 transmission with the number of transmissions rising significantly. The community compliance factor is one of the important things in the spread of the Covid-19 rate. There needs to be intensive warning efforts, including campaigns through social media. This study aims to determine the effect of social media on the level of resilience in rural communities during the covid-19 pandemic. The research sample purposively amounted to 213 people from two research locations, namely Sambong Dukuh Village, Jombang Regency and Wonocoyo Village, Trenggalek Regency, Indonesia. The results showed that the p value = 0.001 0.05, so it can be said that there is no significant difference between the level of resilience in the community in the two villages, even though the average value of Wonocoyo village is 77,393 better than Sambong Dukuh village of 77.00 , but the difference was not statistically significant. The researcher recommends the importance of further research on resilience based on regional characteristics.
