Abstract

The government stated that there is still a transmission of the corona virus in Indonesia to this day. In the midst of this pandemic, the immune system is very crucial. Therefore, one way to maintain immunity is to consume drinks that are clinically proven to maintain it. It is recommended by Medical Daily to consume drinks that contain important nutrients such as protein, vitamin A, and vitamin C, including ginger, turmeric and lemongrass. These plants are easy to find in the Gunung Tanjung area, so the raw material for this traditional drink is available and can be developed as a business venture in exploiting the potential of the village. Based on these findings, we conducted Training on Making Traditional Drinks in the Context of Increasing Immune in the Face of COVID 19 in Tanjungsari Village, Gunung Tanjung District, Tasikmalaya Regency to provide knowledge to the community on how to prevent COVID 19 and make business opportunities in the traditional beverage business. This traditional beverage training was held on November 14, 2020 at the PGRI Dusun Lengkong cooperative hall and November 15, 2020 at the Dusun Leuwidahu madrasah hall, each attended by 30 people. Before and after the training activities, pre-test and post-test were carried out to find out the level of public knowledge about COVID 19 and about the efficacy of traditional drinks in increasing body immunity. The training materials provided were COVID 19 and the role of body immunity as well as herbal properties for body immunity, water quality, traditional beverage business opportunities and demonstrations of traditional drinks. Based on the results of calculations, the average score and post test of the participants indicated that there were significant differences in the knowledge of the training participants about the importance of traditional drinks in increasing the body's immunity for the prevention of COVID 19.
