The method was carried out by providing audiovisual information related to the COVID-19 pandemic through the “Pharmacy Community News” YouTube channel. The evaluation was measured by the number of viewers and the number of comments on the video. Educational videos made by students of the Faculty of Pharmacy UKWMS based on research journals under the guidance of lecturers. The information presented includes the themes: hand sanitizers and disinfectants; hoaxes related to COVID-19; vitamins and herbal as immunomodulators; guidelines of COVID-19 treatment and others related to COVID-19.
