participants in this research were obtained by the researcher in accordance with the research inclusion criteria, namely that the participants were willing to become research informants, the participants were in good physical and mental health, and the participants were people who were involved in implementing the planning for handling COVID-19 in the work area of the Community Health Center.Sukorejo Jember.There are three participants, who work as doctors and nurses at the Sukorejo Community Health Center.All participants were female.The ages of the participants varied, namely between thirty years old and forty-five years old.The characteristics of the participants obtained were that the three participants were involved in the planning process for handling COVID-19.The three participants have different roles in the planning process for handling COVID-19.The role of each participant who took part in the research and was willing to become a research informant, namely the participant who came from the head of the community health center as the key informant, then continued with interviews with the community health center nurse as the main informant, and the final participant, namely the surveillance officer as the supporting informant.There isn't a special team at the puskesmas, but all the friends at the puskesmas are involved.""... we will continue to actively visit homes, and we will continue to communicate across sectors and RT/RW..." The sub-theme of increasing the internal capacity of community health centers has one category, namely increasing capacity, shown in the participant statements below: "...most verbally observing PPE, socializing the use of PPE according to the work unit, Based on the results of research carried out through interviews, the theme was obtained, namely team planning (human resources) for COVID-19.This theme is derived from limited human resources themselves, limited human resources can reduce health services at community health centers.Based on the results of research that has been carried out, it has been supported by facts from the Regent of Jember in 2017 who stated that Jember Regency still lacks medical personnel and even the number of existing health personnel does not comply with Minister of Health Regulation Number 75 of 2014 (Pemkab Jember, 2020).Jember Regency also cannot comply with the standards for the number and type of human resources for health workers (Baskoro, 2017).Based on the researchers' analysis, the number of health services provided by community health centers depends on the spike in COVID-19 cases, therefore, in order for community health centers to be able to improve care services, it is necessary to maximize existing human resources by adding job desks and also increasing the internal capabilities of community health centers through the existence of socialization provided to health workers and Sukorejo Community Health Center staff regarding COVID-19. .This theme was obtained from the limitations of the puskesmas in providing health facilities and the important logistical needs required by the puskesmas.Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it is supported by an evaluation of the handling of COVID-19 in Indonesia by the National Development Planning Agency (BPPN) (2021), which has revealed that the influence of the in accordance with the first pillar of WHO standards, namely coordination, planning and monitoring at the country level, there are three research themes, namely team planning (human resources) for COVID-19, logistical needs in planning and handling COVID-19, and preparing plans for implementing activities in planning for handling COVID-19.There is a need for good synergy between the community and the government in handling COVID-19.Those who act as First Level Health Facilities (FKTP), namely community health centers, are expected to be able to carry out preventive and promotive efforts to help the public access the latest information related to the development of COVID-19 and its handling.With this, it is hoped that the community health center can carry out the Infectious Disease Eradication (P2M) program in the community and it is hoped that the COVID-19 pandemic itself can end.
