The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between social support and social functioning in former Covid-19 patients in North Sulawesi. The research design used is descriptive correlation with a cross sectional approach, with a total sample of 164 respondents who were selected using the consecutive sampling method. The results of the study were analyzed using the Spearman test with a p value (0.000), this shows that there is a relationship between social support and social functioning in former Covid-19 patients. Good social support from family, friends, and the surrounding community allows former Covid-19 patients to carry out their social functions after recovering and returning to the community.
