The research location was in Indonesia. The method was a descriptive study. The measurement was the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire to investigate the musculoskeletal disorders of the workers. Result: The results showed that the workers 86.3% of the workers experienced musculoskeletal disorders during the last 12 months, while 66.3% of the workers experienced the problem during work from home. Furthermore, the proportion of the workers who had the problem in daily activity was 40%, then 12.6% of the workers visit the doctor because of musculoskeletal disorders.

People all over the world are required to practice social distancing and undergoing self-quarantine and homeisolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite social distancing can slow down the widespread of COVID-19, it means people will spend much of their time at home and will be physically inactive. Therefore, the study aims to identify the levels of physical activity of Indonesian people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using a cross-sectional design, 90 participants completed online questionnaires. Assessment of physical activity was made using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Data were collected from June to July 2020 during the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions amid COVID-19 in Indonesia. It was found that nearly half of the participants engage in a low level of physical activity. Furthermore, a genderbased disparity in physical activity is demonstrated in the current study. Females were more likely to engage in low-intensity physical activity, while males involved in high-intensity physical activity. The current study also suggests that the majority of participants spent 4 to 6 hours of working and sitting every day during stay-athome order. As a result, those people may have fewer opportunities for participating in physical activity. In conclusion, the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions Regulation may increase the risk of physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors.
