Thisresearch uses study method descriptive observational and quasi experimental preand post test design. The population in this study were 317 people who filled out aresearch questionnaire conducted by the IKM-IKK FK Unsri department. The 296respondents who filled out the online questionnaire completely obtained the meanage 32.17 ± 12.64, 73.0% female, 67.6% college graduate, 53.4% Christians, and themajority of jobs are college students and students (39.5%). It was found that theaverage value of respondents knowledge about the Covid-19 health protocolincreased from 4.87 ± 0.10 Becomes 5.12 ± 0.96 Likewise, respondents knowledgeabout health protocols in the new normal era increased from 3.65 ± 0.10 Becomes3.87 ± 0.43. Comparative analysis showed a significant change in knowledge of theCovid-19 health protocol and new normal respondents after attending an onlineseminar, namely p 0.026 and p = 0.030. So, it can be concluded that online seminarshave a significant effect on changing the knowledge of the general public about theCovid-19 and new normal health protocols.

Since March 2020, WHO has declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. The government hasimplemented a new normal, which is an order for adapting to new habits with the aimthat people can continue to live productively by changing their lifestyle to prevent thetransmission of COVID-19.

The sample in this study were all participantswho attended online seminars and filled out the pretest and posttest questionnaires.Univariate data analysis showed that the majority of respondents had a mean age of29.41 years, mostly women (58.8%), and unemployed (44.7%). Most of therespondents had a good level of initial knowledge about increasing immunity in facingCOVID-19 (68.4%) and a sufficient level of perception of the new normal (49.1%)before attending online seminars. The bivariate data analysis showed that there wasa significant increase in knowledge about increasing immunity in facing COVID-19 inthe new normal before and after attending an online seminar with a p value = 0.000(p value <0.05). Online seminars are the right way to promote health in increasingknowledge about immunity to face COVID-19 and perceptions toward the new normalamong the general public.
