Abstract:  The Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on various sectors of public life, both education, economy, and health. Based on the Circular Letter (SE) of the Mayor of Bandung Number 443 / SE.036-Dinkes dated March 27, 2020, it is stated that among them are temporarily closing public areas including posyandu. This condition can cause the child's growth and health condition not to be known properly. The term stunting is a condition of chronic malnutrition and is indicated by the measurement of height for an age that is less than 2SD based on the growth standards issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). Pasirjati Village is one of the 15 sub-districts in Bandung City which is a Special Location (Locus) for Stunting. Various programs have been implemented by the City of Bandung in an effort to deal with stunting. The hope is that there will be a reduction in the prevalence of stunting with a target of 11.64% in 2023. Based on the above, the innovation of activities that have been developed is to define the risk factors for editing during the Covid-19 period through providing education, screening checks in target groups, and providing nutrient dense foods during 1 month.
