treatment in the Dahlia Room, Bangil Hospital. and obtained a sample of 50
people taken using consecutive sampling. The research data was then carried out
with a chi-square statistical test using the SPSS application. Based on the results
of the study, it was found that there was a relationship between the level of
patient compliance in wearing masks with the incidence of covid-19 in the
Dahlia Room, Bangil Hospital. The results of the analysis using chi square show

incidence of covid-19 in the Dahlia room of Bangil Hospital. The level of
individual compliance with using masks has an effect on preventive measures to
prevent the transmission of Covid 19. The lack of community compliance with
the use of masks in activities can increase the transmission of Covid 19, because
