The Covid-19 pandemic has a major impact on public health, the country's economy, and the socio-culture in society. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to adaptations to new habits in society, such as the simple act of washing hands using running water with soap, using a mask, etiquette when coughing or sneezing, maintaining body immunity by exercising to eating nutritious foods. This behavior suddenly becomes special when it was previously a strange thing to do. Covid-19 prevention behavior is the knowledge, attitudes and actions of the community towards preventing Covid-19. Factors that influence people's behavior are knowledge, attitudes, actions, age, education level and income. The purpose of this study is to determine the description of people's behavior towards the prevention of Covid-19. This research was conducted in Tumani Village, Maesaan District, South Minahasa Regency in July-August 2020 with 88 respondents.
