Covid-19 is a disease caused by a corona virus that was first discovered in the
province of Wuhan, the People's Republic of China and has become a global
pandemic. The virus attacks the respiratory system and causes mild disturbances
to death. The severity of the symptoms that appear is related to the state of
immunity. The worse the immunity, the more susceptible to contracting Covid-
19. In addition, individuals with poor immunity tend to experience severe
manifestations of covid. Therefore, it is important to increase immunity during
the Covid-19 pandemic. Efforts made to increase immunity include increasing
community capacity through community service activities in the form of a
webinar entitled "Tips to Increase Immunity During a Pandemic". There is a
difference in the average value of the pre-test (83.79) and post-test (96.21) after
the activity. As many as 66.7% of participants considered that the activity went
very well. Thus, the webinar that was held was useful in increasing community
capacity in increasing immunity during the co-19 pandemic. It is hoped that this
activity will continue to be carried out at different targets in order to reduce the
spread and transmission of Covid-19.
