UPAYA BADAN PENANGGULANGAN BENCANA DAERAH (BPBD) TERHADAP MASYARAKAT DALAM UPAYA PENCEGAHAN COVID-19 DI KOTA BANDA ACEH

Abstrak

Confirmed cases of Covid-19 continue to emerge. The Banda Aceh City BPBD is moving to conduct a disciplined campaign for the implementation of health protocols in public places such as markets, so that people do not get Covid-19. This study aims to determine the efforts of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) towards the Community in Efforts to Prevent Covid-19 in Banda Aceh City. The Banda Aceh City BPBD has made serious efforts by collaborating with various agencies and carrying out various activities to prevent the Covid-19 outbreak, through a joint team consisting of the TNI, Polri, Dishub, Satpol PP, Dinkes, BPBD, and several volunteers to carry out various efforts and activities to handle the Covid-19 pandemic, starting from socializing health protocols, to conducting raids at the entrances to regional borders to prevent the entry of people from outside the area who are suspected of being infected with the Covid-19 virus. The obstacles faced are the low public awareness to comply with health protocol rules, especially in public places such as terminals, markets, and coffee shops. Awareness to get vaccinated is also low because people feel they are healthy. Research suggestions, for the Banda Aceh City BPBD, are expected to further increase the role of the Covid-19 Task Force in implementing health protocols. For the Banda Aceh City Government, it is expected to increase the budget for handling Covid-19, considering the still high number of people exposed to Covid-19 in Banda Aceh City
