Masks are used for both infected and healthy people. The awareness of the people of Sowan Lor Village in using masks is still relatively low, where the use of masks is only at certain times, and in practice there are still people who replace masks after repeated use. This can lead to inefficient masks in preventing the transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

The results of this study indicate that out of 102 respondents, 53 (52.0%).
