Abstract

Ministry of Health Republic Indonesia has given guidelines for grouping transmission risk, work within pandemic, tracing positive confirmation worker, and coordinating among regional officer due to manage Covid-19 pandemic. Public Health Centre has risk groups from low until high level, therefore controlling transmission should follow it. This research aimed to describe how the health protocol was implemented in 10 Public Health Centres in Cimahi West Java. Eight centers were visited by more than 100 patients related to Covid 19. Triage area as patients screening area only owned by 7 centers, but only four which obliges patients to fill self assessment form. All centers checking patients temperature before coming in the registration room. Only one has isolation room for patients who do not pass the screening test. There is no different amount of centers that isolate patients with upper respiratory tract infection or not. Health workers in all centers wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), but only 2 has supervision system. Half of health centers has a room for donning and doffing PPE. Management of used PPE is implemented 9 centers and referred system for Covid 19 patients is implemented by all centers. The results shows health protocol has not been fully implemented yet by public health centers. It also shows transmission risk chain still become a problem of managing pandemic. Suggestion for increase number of PPE and monitoring of use should be addressed to the head of health center to reduce risk of transmission
