Training of health cadres on the prevention and control of Covid-19 is an important and strategic effort. Health cadres who have been trained can participate in screening suspected or suspected cases and can help carry out quarantine or self-isolation or immediately direct them to a hospital if they are suspected of being infected with Covid-19. The purpose of this community service is to increase the knowledge of health cadres related to the control and prevention of Covid-19 in Pujon Kidul Village using an online platform with YouTube videos. good use of media with a maximum combination of modules and videos in providing knowledge to participants. While the weakness is the accuracy and honesty of participants in filling out the questionnaire between before and after the training. Our online training model cannot control the existing situation and conditions, including during the evaluation. Suggestion: online model training needs to be strengthened by the village government by providing online media at the village hall so that it can be accessed by the entire structure of the Covid-19 task force team at the village level.
