Economic and Social Health Impacts After the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic started with a pneumonia outbreak that occurred in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in early December 2019. The outbreak occurred in a market cluster that sold various types of animal meat. The epidemic is thought to have originated from the meat of one of the animals sold at the market and infected some people who were at the market. This study uses a quantitative approach together with a qualitative approach. The focus of the research is to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in Pati Regency from three aspects, namely health, economy and social. The COVID-19 pandemic has had quite a big impact on Pati Regency. Regarding the health aspect, the number of positive cases of COVID-19 in Pati Regency shows a fairly high number in areas which are the centers of government and community economic activity. However, the death rate actually occurs in areas that are quite far from the center of government and economic activity. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on other aspects of health is a decrease in the coverage of most health services.
