The results showed that communication on the DOTS strategy during the pandemic used electronic media. There have perception problems when communicating. There are candidates who have resigned. DOTS rooms during the COVID-19 pandemic combine with COVID-19 services. The commitment was not good because cadres resigned and patients dropped out of treatment due to drug side effects.
