Abstract

This study was motivated by the phenomenon of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in a number of countries, including Indonesia. This condition not only affects the economic condition of a country, hinders social interaction among the community, and also has an impact on the health condition of every human being. To avoid the wider spread of Covid-19, the government was forced to adopt social distancing and physical distancing policies in the form of staying at home, working from home, studying, and worshiping at home. On the one hand, this policy has a positive aim to avoid the more fatal consequences of the spread of Covid-19. But on the other hand, this policy has also caused the economy to weaken and slow down very drastically. Not only that, the widespread spread of Covid-19 also has an impact on health conditions and social interactions in society. This study aims to determine: (1) conditions of physical distancing, social distancing, and public health in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, (2) the effect of physical distancing on health, and (3) the effect of social distancing on health.
