Worship in the month of Ramadan this year, especially tarawih prayers, prayer 'iedul fitri, silahturrahim' iedul fitri and shaking hands which are believed by the Muslim community to be Islamic syiar carried out in congregation and openly must be carried out according to physical distancing recommendations. This study examines the persuasive communication of the socialization of Physical Distancing by the Covid-19 Task Force in the implementation of worship in the month of Ramadan at the Grand Mosque of West Bandung Regency. Persuasive communication through religious messages in the midst of a society that is faced with two opposing problems becomes very important significantly. The effectiveness of persuasive communication on the socialization of physical distancing in the implementation of worship in the month of Ramadan is a special objective of research. Through observations and in-depth interviews, the research findings indicate a change in behavior in the congregation of the Great Mosque. The public's perception of physical distancing, especially in the implementation of worship, tends to be debatable, becoming a serious problem. Online media / social media are very important tools to interact with the public quickly. The socialization of handling and controlling covid-19 through collaboration in disciplines of science, religion, communication, psychology and medicine needs to be carried out by the next researchers.
