This research uses qualitative methods by collecting data through interviews and observations. Interviews were conducted with the village government, religious leaders, and the people of Pancasila Village, Sukoreno. The data analysis technique used an interactive model. The results showed that the 'pagebluk' paradigm is still strongly attached to rural communities in responding to the Covid-19 virus.

This disease is believed to provide a deterrent effect to the community because they have neglected to carry out the orders and traditions in the Pancasila Village area, Sukoreno. The existence of Pagebluk causes social and cultural transformation in the local community. Various policies, regulations and agreements related to the handling of Covid-19 are relevant to changes in the socio-religious routine in society. The impact of Covid-19 is used as a strengthening of the relationships that are built in the community in dealing with Covid-19 by using the cultural basis and local wisdom of each religion and belief. The cultural-religious basis is the main aspect of carrying out social transformation by collaborating together across religions as a form of integrity in facing Covid-19. In addition, social reality confirms that the village level FKUB (Religious Forum for Religious People) can optimize the value of mutual cooperation in order to respond to the batara times that caused riots in a religious plural society. So that religious leaders have an important role in disciplining the community to carry out religious rituals in Pancasila Village, Sukoreno. social reality confirms that the village level FKUB (Religious Forum for Religious People) can optimize the value of mutual cooperation in order to respond to the batara times that caused riots in a religiously pluralistic society.

Penyakit ini dipercaya akan memberikan suata efek jera kepada masyarakat karena telah lalai dalam menjalankan perintah dan tradisi di wilayah Desa Pancasila, Sukoreno. Adanya Pagebluk menyebabkan transformasi sosial dan budaya pada masyarakat setempat. Berbagai kebijakan, regulasi dan kesepakatan terkait penanganan Covid-19 berelevansi terhadap perubahan rutinitas sosial keagamaan di masyarakat. Dampak Covid-19 dijadikan sebagai penguat relasi yang terbangun di masyarakat dalam merentas Covid-19 dengan menggunakan basis budaya dan kearifan lokal pada masing-masing agama dan aliran kepercayaan. Basis budaya-agama menjadi aspek utama melakukan transformasi sosial dengan melakukan kolaborasi bersama lintas agama sebagai wujud integritas menghadapi Covid-19. Selain itu, realitas sosial menegaskan bahwa FKUB (Forum Keagamaan Umat Beragama) tingat desa dapat mengoptimalkan nilai kegotongroyonga guna menyikapi batara kala yang menyebabkan kerusuhan di tengah masyarakat plural beragama. Sehingga tokoh agama memiliki peran penting dalam mendisiplinkan masyarakat untu melaksanakan ritual keagamaan di Desa Pancasila, Sukoreno.
