“…It takes things like empathy and sympathy from the individual in removing this stigma. Without empathy, it is feared that there will be an attitude that tends to avoid and stigmatize COVID-19 patients, their families, and health workers Lack of sympathy can also lead to stigma and even discrimination 17 . For this reason, more reliable and repeatable information on COVID-19 is needed in order to increase knowledge, reduce hoaxes and make the positive attitude that is owned remains in place so as not to ignore health protocols and reduce stigma in society.…”

Background: COVID-19 in Indonesia spreads very quickly, including in-company areas or workplaces. Workplace clusters are the most common cluster at East Kalimantan. As a region with many workplaces, both offices and industries, East Kalimantan is bound to have a large number of office clusters. Moreover, most of the workers in East Kalimantan are migrants from outside the region, which causes the spread of the coronavirus to the workplace even more widely. This also happened to PT. Pertamina EP Asset 5 Sangatta Field, where some of the workers are workers from outside the East Kutai area. With the presence of several workers who have tested positive for COVID-19, it is a frightening thing for others, especially other workers. Negative stigma may occur among workers in this company.Method: The research design used in this study is cross-sectional since this study wants to know the knowledge and attitudes towards the stigma of COVID-19, which is measured at the same time. This research was conducted from November - December 2020. The population in this study were all workers who worked at PT Pertamina EP Sangatta Field, in total of 238 people.Results: It shows that attitude relates to stigma COVID-19 among workers (P-Value = <0.001), although knowledge has nothing to do with stigma. The importance of accurate information is expected to reduce stigma in society. Discrimination and fear regarding COVID-19 must be minimized in order to gain acceptance by the community.

“…Adanya kebijakan dan informasi untuk menjaga jarak dengan orang lain (social distancing) kemudian banyak menimbulkan polemik. Banyaknya informasi salah atau hoaks dan minimnya informasi yang diterima oleh masyarakat, sehingga banyak masyarakat yang melakukan perlakukan diskriminatif, baik warga yang ingin pulang dari kota ke desa, perawat atau dokter yang dari bertugas di puskesmas/rumah sakit, bahkan sampai penolakan jenasah (Sahu, 2020;Sulistiadi et al, 2020;Purwanti & Pramana, 2020).…”

In this study using a quantitative method with a descriptive survey approach, the sample in this study was 105 respondents, which were taken by simple random sampling technique. The study found that public knowledge about covid-19 was related to stigma in the families of covid-19 patients (p=0.010) and knowledge was also associated with stigma to health workers (p=0.000). Stigma against families and health workers still occurs in Makassar City, due to the lack of knowledge possessed by the community and the existence of fake news or hoaxes that trigger the emergence of stigma against health workers and families of covid-19 patients.
