In Indonesia, the first case of covid-19
occurred on March 2, 2020. Since then, cases have
continued to increase and have spread to 34 provinces in
Indonesia. Semarang City is one of the cities in Central
Java Province with the highest positive number and covid19 death rate.
Objectives: This study was conducted to find out the
description of the distribution of covid-19 cases and to
assess the effectiveness of the restrictions on community
activities (PKM) implemented in the Semarang City.
Methodology: The data used in this study were obtained
from the Semarang City Health Office. While the spatial
data was obtained through OpenStreetMap. Data analysis
was used to describe the distribution of confirmed Covid19 cases based on the age and sex characteristics of the
respondents, to see the trend of increasing and spreading
of Covid-19 cases in Semarang City, and to see the
effectiveness of the implementation of PKM.
Results: The results showed that the highest percentage of
people infected with Covid-19 is in the age group 31-45
years (28.7%), male (50.2%), and the level of population
density is not related to the distribution of new Covid-19
cases. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of PKM only occurred
for the first time as evidenced by a decrease in new cases
of 75.9%.
Conclusion: The distribution of Covid-19 cases in
Semarang occurred randomly and was not related to the
level of population density. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of
reducing new cases has only occurred in the first PKM
implementation.
