The sampling technique used a purposive sampling method that met certain criteria. Based on the results of statistical tests with Wilcoxon, the value on the use of video media & leaflets was obtained P = 0.001 <0.05, this indicates that there is a significant difference in knowledge before and after online education. On video media P = 0.248> 0.05 showed that there is no significant difference after online education. Whereas in the media leaflet P = 0.045 <0.05 indicated that there is a significant difference after online education. In this study, video media & leaflets and leaflet media are more effectively used as education on prevention of COVID-19 online compared to video media alone.]]>
