Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) is currently a global pandemic. The pandemic has impacted Bali, especially in tourism and the Balinese economy. The problem with community partners in Sidakarya Village is misinformation about preventing the transmission of Covid-19 and the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on residents. This community service method is counseling related to diseases and clean and healthy living behaviors to prevent Covid-19. This service provides food packages and Covid-19 prevention kits to reduce the economic impact of the Covid-19 outbreak in the short term. The community service activity was held on August 14, 2020, at the Sidakarya Village Office. Community service participants totaled 19 community partners affected by Covid-19 in Sidakarya Village. The activity began with a pretest and then continued with counseling which consisted of 2 materials, namely identification of Covid-19 infection and material introduction of clean and healthy living behavior for the prevention of Covid-19. After the counseling, a simulation of hand washing was carried out, and packages of essential ingredients and Covid-19 prevention kits were provided. The activity ended with a posttest. The average pretest and posttest evaluation showed an increase from 70.5 to 88.9. This shows an increase in knowledge in the group that is given counseling. The conclusions of this activity include community service activities that run smoothly and are supported by partner villages. Partners provide support and actively participate in these outreach activities. This can be seen from their attendance and participation during simulations and discussions.
