The first Covid-19 case was reported on March 2nd, 2020, in Indonesia. Then, the graphic trend of infected people has risen sharply, particularly in The Jakarta Greater Area: Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi (Jabodetabek), as the epicenter. As a quantitative approach, this study aims to investigate people in Jabodetabek about their perspective on the Covid-19 Pandemic. Two hundred ninety-seven residents participated as respondents in fulfilling a self-developed questionnaire spread through online schema. Descriptive analyses were used to explain the data found. The results showed that 65.85 % of the participants have a positive perspective towards characteristics of the Covid-19, 66.13% have a positive perspective toward values, belief, and culture in the environment related to the Covid-19, 71.11% have positive awareness of infectious diseases, and 81.32% have a positive perspective towards services or policies of the government with local wisdom. In conclusion, the public perspective regarding the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia, especially people in the Jabodetabek, is good. However, there were still some participants who did not believe in the Covid-19 Pandemic. Increasing people awareness is needed to control Covid-19 transmission in Indonesia. Therefore, it is recommended to increase health promotion activities (rebuild trust, the precautionary principle, social distancing or physical distancing, washing hands and wearing masks), providing psychosocial support (optimism, quick response, and detection, communication with each other).

Menstrual pain or dysmenorrhea is problem in adolescent girls. Menstrual pain also be a reason for the decreased activity of women during menstruation, including female students at the Pesantren Yatim Cahaya Madinah, South Tangerang, Banten. The objective of this community service is to address menstrual pain in adolescents through several methods including: 1) providing education on nonpharmacological therapy to reduce menstrual pain, addressing the lack of information, knowledge, and understanding related to menstruation; 2) implementing Cat Strecth Exercise dan Counter Pressure for menstrual pain in adolescent girls; 3) adopting positive lifestyle changes to decrease menstrual pain, supervising, and reevaluating programs. Adolescents are able to remain productive during menstruation, implement Cat Strecth Exercise dan Counter Pressure, and stay healthier and more productive even while menstruating. The results of this intervention have proven effective in reducing menstrual pain through non-pharmacological therapy, leading to healthier and more sustainable productivity for adolescent girls. Those who initially experienced severe pain (scale 6), causing distress and lower abdominal cramps during menstruation that often reduced their quality of life—along with discomfort affecting their physical and mental well-being, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, breast pain, rectal swelling, and diarrhea—reported a reduction in menstrual pain to a scale of 3 after this intervention.
