Body temperature checks are conducted on each market visitor as a screening to protect the Badung Market community and decrease the transmission of COVID-19 among market community. In average we conducted around 400 people they were market visitors every day during the working hours of YRS team in Badung Market. We also conducted health services through our clinic for general health check, in particularly to screening symptoms related COVID 19 and other disease. The clinic's strategic location on the 1st floor of Pasar Badung makes it easy for the market visitors to find access to medical services when experiencing health problems while in the market.

The economic impact of COVID-19 Pandemic to the community in particularly to the poor people who work around Badung Market as worker or small vendor are very large. Because their lives are very dependent on their income in one day to meet their daily needs. Rama Sesana Foundation raise sympathy and support from other organization to help them to reduce the economic burden during the pandemic, we worked and collaborate with the community of lecturers in Medicine Faculty of Udayana University supported them with packages of food support to 120 workers and laborers at Badung Market.

A very significant increase of COVID 19 cases in several areas in Bali overwhelmed some medical service facilities and medical staff experienced a shortage of PPE equipment as protectors in carrying out their duties, these are contains a very high risk for medical team who are provided the services to the COVID 19 patients who could potentially transmit the infection to the health provider. We support our colleagues in the affected areas for the PPE that we got from the assistance of several donors and YRS supporters . We continue to encourage and support all people to remain vigilant and always pay attention to the Covid Health Prevention Protocol 19, to speed up the breaking of the Covid 19 transmission chain, so that we can all adapt to new conditions and habits for staying healthy and productive.

In this situation we realized the safety and protection is the priority. In other hand the availability of medical protection tools in the market are very rare, and some of medical store was no stock. This situation made our team to creative develop the simple Protection tools, but have enough function as a protection tools, so the services going to continue, and YRS team also under protection by the transmission.

The Government policy towards breaking the chain of transmission through social distancing makes YRS activities related to community outreach halted temporarily, the engagement of staff at risk of meeting many people was postponed.

As a solution to keep the YRS team productive, activities are carried out by working from the YRS secretariat to provide education to the community through online social media by paying attention to maintaining distance between staff when working. Besides that, we also train Peer Educator about general hygiene, how to maintain their health and protect themselves to increase people awareness about health in COVID-19 situation.

Because the Badung Market is a center for logistic and food trading, in this situation the buying and selling activities at the Badung Market are still running, even though the busyness is slightly decrease and the market visitors apply social distancing. Supporting facilities to protect and prevent the transmission are provided such as additional hand washing areas and disinfection rooms in the entrance gate for the market visitors.
