Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the newly discovered coronavirus. This virus began to become epidemic in Wuhan, China since December 2019. With a very fast spread, Covid-19 has become a pandemic that occurs throughout the world. Covid-19 has had a huge impact on all aspects of life, and all areas in a country. Indonesia is one of the countries affected by Covid-19. The most impact felt by a country is in the economic field. Obstruction of economic activity then affects state income. The impact of Covid-19 apart from affecting big business income, also affects micro businesses that are widely spread in Indonesia. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia have had a considerable influence, so that during this pandemic period many negative impacts were felt. This pandemic caused a decline in performance on the demand side, namely consumption and purchasing power, which then disrupted the production and trade processes. In addition, this situation creates new problems for termination of employment and the threat of default on credit payments. This significant reduction in the workforce has resulted in a lot of unemployment. The government has made various efforts to save Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to map government policies in the MSME policy and map the short-term and long-term strategies needed to complement these policies. This research uses qualitative methods. The study uses secondary data from various literatures such as books, articles, and homepages to access data and information related to policies to save MSMEs from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis technique was carried out by descriptive analysis. Based on research, it is known that the policy of saving MSMEs from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic needs to be supported by a short-term strategy and a long-term strategy to maintain the sustainability of MSMEs as one of the actors of the Indonesian economy.
Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) is an infectious disease of the respiratory tract with coronavirus as the main pathogen. Coronavirus Disease is a new type of virus that has never been previously identified in humans. Corona viruses are zoonic (transmitted between animals and humans). As of April 30, 2020, based on the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO), it shows that in Southeast Asia, Indonesia occupies the second highest position for a country with a number of confirmed Covid-19 cases, namely 9,771 cases with 784 patients dying. Patients who died not only because of the corona virus, but had previously experienced complications or had comorbidities, one of which was hypertension. In Indonesia, an internal medicine specialist Tunggul D Situmorang in his explanation confirmed that comorbid factors such as comorbidities worsen the clinical symptoms of Covid-19 due to having a lower immune system. Writing the Community Service (KKN-PKP) aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of the entire community about the effects of comorbid diseases such as hypertension on Covid-19 by making articles and conveying them to the public through the national printed mass media. The result of this activity is the publication of articles that convey information to the public. The articles made were published in the section Above, B7 health in the paper. The impact of this activity is smooth access to information or knowledge for loyal readers of the printed mass media (Waspada Daily newspaper), especially for people who find it difficult to access information through electronic mass media.
