| Summary: | COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia keeps on growing, with 79,6% of the cases are within 18-45 years of age. Many ways are developed by health officials to flatten the curve, including prevention. HBM is a model commonly used to understand how individuals perceive a health behavior, for example preventive behaviors.
