New Social Order in the Pandemic Era: Covid-19 and Human Sociology in Makassar | Chapter 6 | An Overview of Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

 

The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented global event in recent history. Beginning with the initial outbreak occurring in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, the virus rapidly spread across the globe, causing millions of deaths and creating an unprecedented health, economic, and social crisis unlike anything experienced over the past hundred years. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social interactions and community behaviour in Makassar, Indonesia. This study employed a phenomenological approach and is classified as qualitative descriptive research. Both primary and secondary data sources were included in this study. The results showed that the transmission of Covid-19 was a form of human interaction that, in their social life mutually greeting, intertwining, chatting, and apparently through this kind of interaction, the virus then spread. Physical and social distancing efforts are said to be an effective effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Community disobedience to distancing causes Covid-19 pandemic to become worse, and more victims falling, this is in persevere because of social behavior of the community in interacting with various issues that tend to affect the physical condition so as to cause the condition of the body to get sick so that this condition makes the virus easy to get into the body. While the public understands healthy is a condition, not sick. Pain can occur due to a germ or microbial infection into the human body and its infectious nature. There is also a degenerative pain that damages the body's organs (heart, stroke, hypertension, diabetes) because the diet and lifestyle are not appropriate. Covid-19 is a viral infection that is currently spreading rapidly and difficult to overcome because it has not found a vaccine to prevent the virus. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of strengthening community awareness, promoting healthy living habits, and ensuring consistent government health campaigns to prevent future outbreaks.
