Abstract

The most critical aspect of people's lives is their health. Human health conditions are affected by a variety of factors such as the climate, food, health habits, and so on. The new Covid-19 pandemic is having a major impact on people's health all over the world, including in Indonesia. The adaptation of new habits is an Indonesian government initiative aimed at ensuring that Indonesians are able to adapt and move on with their daily lives during the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to determine the community's health status and to introduce new habits during the Covid-19 pandemic in several Cimahi City sub-districts. The aim is to provide health education about health issues they are facing and how to adjust to this new habit. This study was conducted on the population in several sub-districts of Cimahi City, with a sample of 434 respondents and sample collection using accidental sampling. Data was collected using a “Survey Mawas Diri” questionnaire, which covered Covid-19 prevention from a public health perspective as well as data collection using univariate analysis. The findings revealed that hypertension 12.2%, diarrhea 4.1%, and diabetes mellitus 2.7% were the most common health issues. Adaptation of new habits: 35.4% do not keep their distance, 15.6% do not bring hand sanitizer when leaving the home, and 5.4% do not wear a mask when going out. Finally, some of the health conditions that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic are still present, and many people continue to disregard health protocols.
