Based on Perceived saverity, the informant said that Covid-19 is a pandemic so it is dangerous because of its transmission, and if infected with Covid-19 it can worsen the condition of people who have congenital diseases. Based on Perceived benefits, informants feel the perceived benefits of implementing health protocols in addition to preventing Covid-19 are also useful for daily life. For Perceived barriers, informants feel obstacles in implementing health protocols such as the use of masks because of the small amount of air they breathe. Meanwhile, the Threat factor, informants feel that when they do not apply the health protocol, they feel afraid or anxious.
