Previous studies have revealed that COVID-19 was an infectious disease and it could remain viable in ambient air for hours. Therefore, this study aims to examine the correlation between air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, CO, SO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>3</sub>) and COVID-19 spread in Jakarta, Indonesia. Furthermore, this study also evaluates the impact of large-scale social restriction (LSSR) on air pollution index (API). Result of study found that air pollution index of PM2.5, PM10, CO, SO<sub>2</sub> and NO<sub>2</sub> decreased by 9.48%, 15.74%, 29.17%, 6.26% and 18.34% during LSSR period. While, for O<sub>3 </sub>showed an increase by 4.06%. Another result also found significantly positive correlations of SO<sub>2</sub>, CO and PM2.5 with COVID-19 cases. An exposure to SO<sub>2</sub>, CO and PM2.5 has driven the area become vulnerable for COVID-19 infection. Our findings indicated that the relationship between air pollutants and COVID-19 spread could provide a new notion for precaution and control method of COVID-19 outbreak.</em></p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Jurnal Pengelolaan Sumberdaya Alam dan Lingkungan (Journal of Natural Resources and Environmental Management)}, author={Rendana, Muhammad and KomariahLeily Nurul}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={93-100} }
