. According to WHO, Covid-19 positive patients show symptoms of mild to moderate respiratory distress. Moreover, it shows other symptoms such as fever, dry cough, and fatigue. Meanwhile, for parents over the age of 60 who have a history of other diseases, Covid-19 will cause other more serious symptoms (WHO, 2020).
Therefore, various efforts have been made by the government to stop the spread of Covid-19. Such efforts encourage the people of Indonesia to maintain cleanliness and provide a place to wash their hands in public places. This encourages people to maintain cleanliness and implement a healthy lifestyle. Mechanically, washing hands using soap and running water will remove dust and dirt. Soap can reduce and weaken the germs in the hands (Maulida, Ernyasih, &Andriyani, 2019). In Indonesia, the implementation of Hand Washing Using Soap (CTPS) is still ignored by the public. Even though this action is an effort to decide the source of diseases caused by microorganisms and viruses (Asthiningsih&Wijayanti, 2019).
If we remember further, in Javanese culture there are already habits that advocate maintaining cleanliness, namely by washing hands or cleaning the body using padasan. In addition to washing hands and cleaning the body, the padasan also serves to place or container of ablution water before entering the mosque. Javanese people always put the padasan in front of the mosque and front of the house (Wiyanah et al., 2020). Padasan in the new normal era is widely reused, especially in public places. However, this condition serves to wash your hands to avoid dangerous viruses.
Research related to Covid-19 and Javanese culture has been conducted by Sri Wiyanah et al (2020) in the Proceedings of the International Webinar"Malay Local Wisdom In The Period And After The Plague". According to Sri Wiyanah et al (2020) family, health education before entering the house has become local wisdom that has existed since a hundred years ago. Family health education that has been in place for a long time, can protect the immune and family health to deal with covid-19. To prevent the spread of Covid-19, it is necessary to do handwashing behavior using soap. Information about handwashing behavior, Javanese culture in the form of padasan, and its relation to religion are very necessary. This is so that people continue to apply their habits and clean living through the culture of handwashing while preserving Javanese culture. Besides, it is also based on Islamic values. Based on this, this study examines padasan in ancient times and the role of padasan in overcoming Covid-19. The purpose of this study is to increase the desire for healthy living behavior of the community, especially in washing hands, and also provide insights to the community to preserve the healthy living culture that has existed in the culture of Javanese society and Islamic religion.

DISCUSSION
Padasan has been known since time immemorial. Padasan is usually placed in front of houses, in front of mosques and ancient buildings. Padasan is used for water containers. In ancient buildings, padasan has the same function as a container of ablution water and selfcleaning. The place of ablution is a very important component and must be available in every mosque. (Haris, 2010).
On the site of Ki Buyut Trusmi Cirebon, there are padasan located in front of both sides of the Kori Agung gate building. Padasan is one of the local wisdom that is used to purify yourself before entering a place that is considered sacred. This behavior is not contained in the teachings of Islam. Community habits that are rooted in an area form a new culture. The cultural fusion embodies a new culture in the pre-Islamic period, which manifested in the architecture of buildings that contained the meaning of symbols outside the Islamic shari'a. The symbol can be seen on the sketch of the Ki Buyut Trusmi Cirebon complex. Symbolism can also be seen from pages divided into four different pages. The division of the page is based on the level of holiness.
Symbolically, the location of the components of the building forms a floor plan that leads to a very sacred place, namely the tombs of Ki Gede Trusmi and Prince Trusmi on the north lawn of the site. In the west courtyard, there is a Kori Agung gate, where the gate is the entrance of the site complex. Before entering the site complex, visitors are required not to wear footwear and wash their feet first. The behavior indicates that the complex area of the site is holier than the previous area. However, gates and padasan were not found when entering the west and east courtyards. This indicates that the west and east courtyards are areas that are not purified. The presence of the padasan and the Kori Agung gate when entering the central courtyard zone indicates that the central courtyard is holier than the west and east courtyards. Before entering the north courtyard there are also padasan and Kori Agung gate indicating the north courtyard has a more sacred level than the central, western, and eastern courtyards (Mujabuddawat, 2016).
Padasan is also found in al-Aqsa mosque, Kudus. Al-Aqsa Mosque has characteristics that other mosques do not have. The architecture in Al-Aqsa mosque is in Buddhist style. Hindu pattern is found in the place or container of ablution water in the form of a shower of ablution of eight and has the shape of a statue of a gumarang buffalo. The building design shows the adoption of Indian Hindu-Buddhist and Mughal style architecture.
Padasan ablution or shower ablution al-Aqsa Mosque has its characteristics. Sunan Kudus also made a shower of two rows where each row consists of eight showers to meet the needs of prayer pilgrims. The ablution shower was designed to resemble a Kala. Kala is an imaginative figure of Hindu-Buddhist mythology, as a guard who can provide good power and be able to protect from various evils. (Kharis, 2020).
The name of the shower at Al-Aqsa Mosque, Kudus is given AstaSaghika which means eight-fold road. As an aesthetic enhancer ornament, statue reliefs are used to decorate the shower using statue reliefs. Eight showers with a statue head date on top of each one. Sunan Kudus made a padasan (place of ablution) as one of the efforts to promote Islam. Padasan used to purify before entering the mosque. The shower used for ablution was placed beside the right side of the mosque with a total of eight pieces. And there is a statue placed on each shower, where the statue adapts the Buddhist beliefs. The eight-strong shower means "eight-fold road" or "Asta Sanghika Marga"."Asta Sanghika Marga" means must have the right things. What is meant is knowledge, decisions, words, life, workshop, worship, and how to live religion. Business Sunan Kudus intrigues Buddhists. Buddhists want to know the purpose of Sunan Kudus using a symbol of the will of Buddhism in the place of ablution (padasan). So, many of them come to the mosque to get a direct explanation from Sunan Kudus (Hasanah, 2019).
Pandemic Covid-19 is causing life in the world to be unstable. One of the most striking besides health is the socio-economic crisis. The government is trying not to be too protracted in the socioeconomic crisis. Government efforts by applying a new life order or commonly known as new normal. New normal is a way to deal with covid-19 in various aspects, especially health and socio-economic aspects. In the application of new normal, people are required to always comply with health protocols, one of which is washing hands using soap and using clean running water. So, no wonder if you are in public places, there are many handwashing places available. The World Health Organization or WHO has established the correct handwashing procedure. The procedures are: • Wet both hands using clean running water.
• Pour soap to taste into the palm.
• Rub both palms, both backs of hands, and between fingers.
• Clean the fingertips or bottom of the nails, by rubbing the fingertips into the palm, doing it alternately.
• Rinse both hands using clean running water.
• Dry using a clean towel or tissue.
The habit of washing hands seems to have been practiced by the previous community using a traditional tool called padasan. The former community cleaned themselves by washing their hands before entering the house. It aims to avoid dirt, bacteria, or viruses found from outside the house do not enter the house. So, the family in the house is always maintained cleanliness and health (Wiyanah et al. 2020).
Javanese people always put the padasan in front of the house and front of the mosque. The padasan begins to change shape over time. However, the function is still the same as washing your hands, face, and feet before entering the house. Padasan also serves as a place of ablution before entering the mosque. In ancient times, the padasan was made of clay with a round shape. However, today's padasan is modified from a large bucket that is given a hole under it as a place for water to flow (Wiyanah 3et al., 2010).

CONCLUSION
Padasan is a crock of clay or barrels that has a function as a container or a place to clean themselves or for ablution water. Padasan is usually placed in front of houses or mosques or ancient buildings. The government's efforts in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic are to implement a new or new normal living order, where people are required to wear masks, social distancing, avoid crowds and wash their hands using soap and running clean water. The habit of washing hands has been done by the previous people but using a traditional tool called padasan made of clay. Today's padasan is modified from a large bucket that is given a hole underneath as a place for water to flow.
