description The increase in COVID-19 cases encourages the need for health efforts from various sectors. The number of COVID-19 confirmed cases in Palangka Raya City is the highest in Central Kalimantan province. The Ministry of Education urged the implementation of 3M education, such as wearing masks, washing hands, and social distancing, to stop the transmission of COVID-19. This study aims to describe the level of knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors related to COVID-19 and the association between knowledge and attitudes with preventive behaviors related to COVID-19 in students of MAN Kota Palangka Raya. This research is a cross-sectional study that involved 339 students as respondents. Data was collected using google form in October 2020. 98.8% of students had good knowledge of COVID-19, and 87.0% of students had positive attitudes about preventing COVID-19, but only 54.6% of students had good preventing behaviors related to COVID-19. Association was found between attitudes toward COVID-19 with preventive behaviors related to COVID-19 in MAN Palangka Raya City students in 2020. 3M's preventive behavior education efforts still need to be improved to stop the transmission of COVID-19.
