Abstract

The spread of the covid-19 virus has not stopped yet, in fact there has been an increase in the last weeks. The family cluster dominates in the spread of the virus through the closest family members. The number of patients without symptoms to those who have severe symptoms often occurs in the community. The role of RT/RW as a neighbourhood institution in providing education to the community is very necessary. The purpose of this study was to describe the role of RT/RW in breaking the chain of the spread of COVID-19 in Tembalang District, Semarang City, as well as to identify the obstacles faced. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The informants were the head of RT/RW of Tembalang District and their apparatus. The results showed that the performance of RT/RW in breaking the chain had been carried out optimally. This is evidenced that the RT/RW has fulfilled several aspects of performance appraisal, namely funding, impact, reaction, and time.
