Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new type of coronavirus namely severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease has spread to 118 countries and infected 119,179 people on Feb 2020. Indonesia is currently affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. This has an impact on the economic, social, and educational systems. In these conditions, the transportation system also needs attention. The distribution of drugs and rapid test equipment to rural areas during the pandemic is a serious barrier. The number of areas that still lack of health facilities has caused lower health care for the community, including the current handling of COVID-19, such as the rapid test tool in every public health center in Indonesia. One solution that can be provided from this problem is the provision of Health Truck to help provide health services to deal with COVID-19, especially rapid tests on areas where health facilities are lacking. The rapid test tools available on this Health Truck can at least help in handling COVID-19, so that the provision of health services in remote areas can be overcome. © 2024 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
