Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic encourages the importance of online education about health to increase understanding and awareness about COVID-19. The amount of information scattered makes it difficult for people to choose the wrong and correct information. Education based on trusted and easy-to-access sources must be done during a pandemic. This activity is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to improve the prosperity of the global community, especially in the public health sector. Education was carried out by conducting an oral test on ten samples regarding their opinions and knowledge about COVID-19. The test results were published as part of educational videos uploaded on YouTube and IGTV channels. At the end of the activity, a post-test was conducted on 36 respondents to determine their level of understanding after watching educational video. The evaluation results from the pre-test and post-test that have been carried out have an average increase from 24.29% to 86.3%, which means there is an increase in understanding health protocols and COVID-19 after watching videos so that educational videos are effectively used as learning media.
