Abstract

Covid-19 is a new type of disease that has never been previously identified in humans. The Covid-19 virus outbreak began in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Based on data from the Sidoarjo District Health Office, there are 5 midwives who died because of a history of comorbidities, and are suspected of being exposed from a midwife who died a few days earlier due to covid-19 exposure. The study used primary data, after all data was collected, it was then presented in the form of a table for the application of the protocol for obstetrics and delivery assistance services during the Covid-19 pandemic and the results of interviews about the situation where delivery assistance was presented in text form, then analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the application of the midwifery service protocol was incomplete because there were 3 components that were not fulfilled, namely no temperature measurement, the examination equipment was not thoroughly disinfected, the midwife did not use complete PPE, and labor aid procedures were not according to standard because there was 1 component that was not fulfilled. The conclusion of this research is that the implementation of the protocol for obstetrics and delivery services is incomplete and does not meet the standards recommended by the government. Suggestions for service providers to apply more discipline in implementing the protocol for obstetrics and delivery services as recommended by the government to prevent the transmission of Covid-19.
