Abstract

Corona Virus is a viral infection that attacked in 2019 in Wuhan City, China. Corona Virus attacks the respiratory tract, there are several types of symptoms caused by the Corona Virus such as coughing, fever, and several other symptoms. Clean and healthy living behavior in the community, especially in the home environment of the residents of Desa Mudalang if not given knowledge and examples, in this case, may result in susceptibility to disease. The implementation of this healthy and clean lifestyle is still low in the community because of the lack of education about the benefits and risks of not applying a clean and healthy lifestyle. Universitas Muhamadiyah Banjarmasin students provide education about how to live clean and healthy behavior that aims to make people aware, improve and maintain health so that people are aware and able to do so. This Independent obligatory social action internship for advanced university students (KKN) was conducted in Desa Mudalang and visited every resident of Desa Mudalang, Tanah Bumbu Regency. This activity is carried out by means of educational methods on how to live a clean and healthy behavior and by giving/posting posters in front of residents' houses so that they can keep reading how clean and healthy living habits are. In this social community service, it was concluded that there is a need for further education on clean and healthy living habits because there are still many residents who do not understand the importance of maintaining cleanliness and health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
