Covid-19 became the biggest non-natural disaster in the world in 2020. It first broke out in Wuhan, China, and then spread to other countries including Indonesia. The public is in uncertainty and receives a lot of information about Covid-19 through various media. This condition is exacerbated by the spread of hoax related to Covid-19 which is difficult to contain. The purpose of this study was to analyses society's behavior related to the spread of the Covid-19 hoax. This research uses a survey method with a quantitative approach. The results of the study concluded that respondents' knowledge about Covid-19 and hoax was very adequate. However, most respondents are hesitant and are in a position that can sometimes distinguish hoax, sometimes not because of the large amount of information obtained every day. The public panic at Covid-19 caused hoax to continue to be spread in the hope that the information could be useful in preventing and treating. While the respondents did not spread Covid's-19 hoax, because they considered the information to be incorrect, not useful, and harmful to the health of others, and they wanted to break the chain of hoax distribution to themselves.
The purpose of this study is to get an overview of the agenda-setting for the spread of hoax on social media. The method used is quantitative content analysis. The results found that there were three themes of the most prominent hoax issues, namely politics, health, and governance issues. In this case, the media setting agenda on hoax was formed by the users of social media itself. Hoax themes about politics such as Elections have increased in a certain period because social media users or netizens have relatively the same concentration and attention about it. There have also been attempts by certain parties to neutralize a theme hoax for a specific purpose, such as to overthrow each presidential candidate who is fighting in the Election process, including to topple incumbent presidential candidates who are still in power. Likewise, with a content hoax, the media agenda formed on social media represents the interests of netizens. Even in health hoax content that includes the most hoax content, the agenda of social media settings is built because netizens consider the content important to be immediately known by other audiences regardless of whether or not the content is true.
