WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak in China an international public health emergency posing a high risk to countries with vulnerable health systems and on March 11, 2020 WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic very quickly spread to various parts of the world and in the initial period of its spread, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread to more than 215 countries. In accordance with the guidelines by the WHO, the provincial government of DKI Jakarta makes policies contained in the Governor's Regulation no. 79 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Discipline and Law Enforcement of Health Protocols as an Effort and Control of COVID-19 which regulates the obligation to use masks when doing activities outside the home. This action was taken by the government considering that splashes from the respiratory tract are the most likely route for the spread of COVID-19, therefore in addition to washing hands and maintaining cleanliness, the use of masks is also very important to break the chain of spread of COVID-19. Impact of Governor Regulation No. 79 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Discipline and Law Enforcement of Health Protocols as an Effort and Control of COVID-19, technically, every day there is increasing public awareness of the importance of using masks. Crowded places such as markets, restaurants, nightclubs, are locations in East Jakarta that still need a lot of monitoring even though the number of violations is felt to be decreasing day by day, but vigilance and self-awareness of the importance of using masks still need to be instilled.
