The COVID-19 pandemic is still a global health problem, including in Indonesia. When people's social life mostly moves to the domestic sphere, be it professional work, education, tourism, and so on, they must adapt to the development of the pandemic situation. However, there is one sector of professional work that has not experienced significant changes during the pandemic, namely health workers. Health workers are a profession that requires them to be at work longer than being at home to gather with family. When cases of the spread of COVID-19 are increasing and spreading, health workers must adjust themselves when they have to go home before meeting their families. This study describes and analyzes how the adaptations that must be carried out by families of health workers during this pandemic. This study uses a qualitative research approach with a case study approach. The source of data used in this research is in-depth interviews. The findings of this study are that with the interaction adaptation by health workers they are able to adjust when they have to go home before meeting with family during the pandemic, and can make communication interactions run smoothly as they should.
