The Covid-19 Outbreak Disaster Mitigation Strategy

Abstract

When a new outbreak with a potential pandemic arises, non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as outbreak mitigation strategies, are the most effective interventions to help slow down virus transmission at the community level. COVID-19 virus outbreak mitigation is a series of actions that people and communities can take to help slow the spread of viral infections. Mitigation is very important before vaccines or drugs are widely available. This review of literature aims to discuss the COVID-19 virus outbreak disaster mitigation strategy. This research method is a literature study. The Coronavirus pandemic not only threatens physical health, but also the mental health of every individual. Not only fear, but psychological effects can also have a serious impact. Prevention and mitigation measures are the keys to implementation in health and community services. to optimize the Puskesmas as the frontline for regional disaster mitigation, including the COVID-19 outbreak, the understanding of the Puskesmas concept of resilience needs to be optimally applied so that the role of the Puskesmas as disaster mitigation can work well.
