COVID-19 PHENOMENOM The coronavirus novel (2019-nCoV) is a new type of coronavirus that has never been identified in humans that cause Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID- 19). Coronavirus is a large family of viruses that cause disease in humans and animals. In humans, it creates common cold to severe illnesses such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Syndrome. The coronavirus novel (2019-nCoV) has epidemiology with different characteristics from SARS-CoV or MERS- CoV. The coronavirus novel (2019-nCoV) self- replicates in the upper respiratory tract and causes moderate symptoms, similar to pneumonia.(KemenkesRI 2020)(Kemenkes RI 2020) . WHO has designated COVID-19 as a health problem with a global emergency status with the highest level of vigilance . (Ghebreyesus, 2020) The WHO China Country Office reported the discovery of a case of pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, on January 7, 2020, which was later determined as a new type of coronavirus (novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV). The number of 2019-nCoV cases took place quite quickly, and there was a spread outside the Wuhan region and other countries. On January 26, 2020, globally, 1,320 cases were confirmed in 10 countries with 41 deaths (CFR 3.1%). China confirmed finding 1297 cases of 2019-nCoV (including Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau) with 41 deaths (39 deaths in Hubei Province, one death in Hebei Province, one death in Heilongjiang Province). Then followed by Japan (3 cases), Thailand (4 cases), South Korea (2 cases), Vietnam (2 cases), Singapore (3 cases), USA (2 cases), Nepal (1 case), France (3 cases)), Australia (3 cases). Among these cases, there were already several health workers who were reported to be infected(Kemenkes RI, 2020e)(Kemenkes RI, 2020d) . According to Gardner (2020), on 27 February 2020, there were 81,743 confirmed cases worldwide, resulting in 2,798 deaths and being declared cured of 30,538 cases. (Dong E, Du H, 2020) The number and spread of covid-19 increased very significantly between 26 January 2020 until 27 February 2020 an increase of 80,423 confirmed cases and an increase of 2,757 deaths and the range of situations in 63 countries around the world and all continents except Antarctica. The rapid spread of this disease is caused by the city of Wuhan becoming China's new silk route where the economic development of the central region of China. Wuhan has very high mobility, and community mobility increases using flights and railroad lines as it approaches the Chinese New Year on January 10, 2019.(Wu, Leung, & Leung, 2020) An average of 16,202 international passengers at Wuhan airport to
