So, it is necessary to adopt a clean and healthy lifestyle and implement health protocols such as using masks, washing hands and maintaining distance. This community service activity aims to provide education and assistance to community representatives in Desa Bojongsoang, Bandung, to always implement a healthy and clean lifestyle and health protocols.
