Latar Belakang: Sebagai upaya mempercepat penanganan pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia Presiden mengintruksikan pembentukan Satgas Penanganan COVID-19 di daerah dari mulai tingkat provinsi sampai tingkat desa/kelurahan dan tingkat dusun RT/RW. Pemerintah Desa sebagai bagian dari sub sistem Pemerintahan Daerah yang langsung bersentuhan dengan masyarakat harus berperan dan bertanggung jawab dalam kegiatan penanganan COVID-19 di lingkup wilayahnya. Desa Pugul menempati posisi ketiga sebagai Desa dengan jumlah COVID-19 tertinggi di Kecamatan Riau Silip yaitu sebanyak 20 kasus. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, perlu diketahui bagaimana penanganan COVID-19 oleh Satgas Desa di wilayahnya. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan manajemen penanganan COVID-19 oleh Satuan Tugas Penanganan COVID-19 di Desa Pugul Kabupaten Bangka pada tahun 2021. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Hasil: Hasil penelitian ini merupakan gambaran manajemen penanganan COVID-19 oleh Satgas Penanganan COVID-19 di Desa Pugul tahun 2021 yang ditinjau dari gambaran input (SDM, Dana, Metode, Sarana dan Prasarana), gambaran manajemen (perencanaan, pengorganisasian, pelaksanaan, dan pengawasan) serta gambaran output (penanganan kasus COVID-19). Kesimpulan dan Saran: Manajemen penanganan COVID-19 oleh Satgas Penanganan COVID-19 di Desa Pugul masih belum optimal dan belum sesuai dengan kebijakan penanganan COVID-19. Oleh karena itu, saran dari peneliti adalah membentuk Satgas Penanganan COVID-19 hingga ke Tinggkat RT/RW/Dusun, melaksanakan kegiatan KIE secara rutin, melibatkan semua unsur masyarakat untuk mendukung kegiatan penanganan COVID-19 di Desa Pugul.

Background: As an effort to accelerate the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, the President instructed the establishment of a COVID-19 Handling Task Force in the regions from the provincial level to the village/ward level and the RT/RW hamlet level. The Village Government as part of the Regional Government sub-system that is directly in contact with the community must play an important role and be responsible for handling COVID-19 activities within its territory. Pugul Village occupies the third position as the village with the highest number of COVID-19 in Riau Silip District, which is as many as 20 cases. Based on this background, it is necessary to know how the Village Task Force handles COVID-19 in its area. Objective: This study aims to describe the management of COVID-19 handling by the COVID-19 Handling Task Force in Pugul Village, Bangka Regency in 2021. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Results: The results of this study are a description of the management of COVID-19 handling by the COVID-19 Handling Task Force in Pugul Village in 2021 which is viewed from the input description (HR, Funds, Methods, Facilities, and Infrastructure), management description (planning, organizing, implementing, and supervision) as well as a description of the output (handling of COVID-19 cases). Conclusions and Suggestions: The management of COVID-19 handling by the COVID-19 Handling Task Force in Pugul Village is still not optimal and not following the COVID-19 handling policy. Therefore, the suggestion from the researcher is to form a COVID-19 Handling Task Force down to the RT/RW/Dusun level, carry out routine IEC activities, involve all elements of the community to support COVID-19 handling activities in Pugul Village.
