Percentage of rapid antibody test comparison to PCR as a gold standar reached 57% especially on IgM examination detected.  Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of Covid-19 at Puskesmas Sentolo I was 2.9% with comorbid such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, stroke, and obesity. Types of cluster transmission was mostly at the family cluster up to 59% of the total cases (31 family clusters).
