The results of a preliminary survey conducted by researchers on May 16, 2020 in Sipi village, Sirenja District, Donggala, that there was one Sipi village community who was confirmed as Covid-19 due to close contact with one of the people in Tompe village, Sirenja District, Donggala Regency, who was found to be positive Covid-19. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of the public about the prevention of Covid-19.Method: This research method used descriptive methods with a population of 201 and a sample of 67.
