The uniqueness of culture<br>is deeply felt because Aceh has special autonomy in Indonesia. A plural society is also its cultural<br>gift. Currently, China is the first country hit by the coronavirus (Covid-19). This virus continues<br>to spread, and it was declared a world pandemic by the WHO. The Acehnese are also affected by<br>this coronavirus. However, in Aceh culture, the coronavirus is called Taeuen. This study used<br>Mead's symbolic interaction theory. The research method used was qualitative. The results show<br>that the coronavirus is identical to Taeuen and for the people of Aceh this outbreak is very<br>frightening. So that when they find out that there is an outbreak of a disease that has entered their<br>environment, the people of Aceh will impose restrictions on interactions with other human<br>environments. In handling the spread of the plague, people in Aceh also apply cultural traditions<br>that are believed to be able to ward off the spread of the virus. The tradition with the Islamic<br>approach has been carried out since hundreds of years ago and is still believed during the current<br>world Corona outbreak</p> ER -
