Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic that has been going on since March 2020 has spread rapidly, with high mortality In Indonesia. Central Java, Covid-19 remains a disease with a Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 4.4% and is above Indonesia’s CFR of 3.0%. In Magelang itself,  positive cases of Covid-19 in 2020 reached 4418 and were among the top 3 cases in Central Java Province. This study’s purpose was to spatially describe the distribution of new cases of Covid-19 in terms of population density and elevation of the sub-district area in Magelang. The type of research is descriptive quantitative with ecological studies using a spatial approach. The results showed that the distribution of new cases of Covid-19 has a unique pattern in mapping based on population density and altitude. Some of the new distribution cases showed a distribution pattern following the regional elevation and almost entirely following the pattern of population density. The increase of Covid-19 tends to be higher in areas with high-density populations and low-altitude regions. This study concludes that the distribution pattern of new Covid-19 cases is influenced by population density and the area’s height during the peak period of new Covid-19 cases in 2020 at Magelang.

Abstract

Community service activities are a forum for sharing information to increase public knowledge. This community service is conducted online through seminars using the Zoom meeting application with the theme "Myths and Facts of Diabetes Mellitus and a Balanced Diet for Diabetes Mellitus Patients". This service aims to inform the public about the myths and facts about diabetes mellitus and increase public knowledge regarding proper prevention and control. The participants consisted of health cadres in Sangatta, East Kalimantan, and the general public, totaling 47 people. Material delivery was carried out using lecture methods with PowerPoint presentations, discussion, and questions and answers. The activity results were evaluated using a quasi-experimental design by comparing the pre-test and post-test results of the participants. The data is not normally distributed, so the difference test used is the Wilcoxon test. This community service increased participant knowledge with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05) and increased the average participant knowledge score from 80 ± 16.923 to 90 ± 10.301. This community service activity concludes that the activity can increase community knowledge related to proper prevention and control of diabetes mellitus.
