Abstract
In 2020, the world was shocked by the outbreak of a new virus, namely a new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease is called Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The origin of this virus originated from Wuhan, China. To date, there are 65 countries that have contracted this virus. In the context of prevention and control that can limit the spread of viral respiratory tract diseases, including COVID-19, is the use of masks. Masks can be used both to protect healthy people and also to infected people. On a visit to one of the villages in Barito Kuala Regency, Anjir Pasar District, namely in Hilir Masjid Village, there were still many residents who did not comply with the government's recommendation to use masks. So it is necessary to carry out mask-giving activities and education about the correct use of masks. The method used is by door to door and in public places. After the implementation of the activities, the people of Hilir Masjid village were very enthusiastic about this activity. This was shown by expressions and information conveyed directly by them that this activity was felt to be very useful because it increased their knowledge about how to use masks correctly.
