Keefektifan Penerapan Berbagai Model Penyemprotan Disinfektan Pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19

Abstract

Disinfection is used to prevent transmission for killing the virus [COVID-19] which may still survive in certain objects or places. Spraying disinfectants, besides at home, should also be done in crowded places and public facilities or other objects that are often touched by humans. At this time, the government's effort to prevent the spread of the virus is by spraying disinfectants on the roads. The two spraying models used by the government, namely by using a water cannon and by using a drone. Therefore, the authors are interested in examining the effectiveness of the spraying model in terms of ease of use and cost-efficiency. This study uses a quantitative method with this type of experiment. The experimental design used in this study was the pretest-posttest control group design. The results showed that there were differences in post-test results related to water cannon spraying and drone spraying between the experimental group and the control group. This is evidenced by the results of the t-test of the experimental group and the control group at the time of the posttest, namely the significance value obtained in the Levene's Test column is 0.009. The significance value indicates <0.05. This research concludes that this research is going well and spraying disinfectants using a water cannon is more effective in terms of cost-efficiency and ease of operation than using drones.
