The purpose of the service activity is to provide education (health promotion) through outreach activities to increase knowledge about the importance of implementing the COVID-19 health protocol and reduce social stigma on COVID-19 patients at Tahfidz Qur'an Islamic Boarding School. The extension method through audiovisual media is used in this activity. The number of participants who took part in this activity was 20 people. Service activities have an impact on increasing participants' knowledge about the importance of implementing the COVID-19 health protocol and decreasing social stigma against COVID-19 patients by 11.6%. The installation of posters about health protocols in strategic places was also carried out at the Tahfizh Qur'an Islamic Boarding School as a reminder in the application of health protocols. This activity needs to be carried out periodically considering the COVID-19 pandemic which is not yet certain to end so that health protocols can always be implemented. Periodic coaching from local health workers is needed in order to suppress the spread of COVID-19 through discipline in implementing health protocols in the educational environment.
