Introduction: The covid19 virus is still massively spreading in Indonesia. In early July 2020, 34 provinces, resulting in 57,770 positive cases, 25,595 recovered, and 2,934 died. Large-scale Social Restriction (LSSR) is currently implemented in Indonesia in response to the pandemic. Students, lecturers, and education personnel as an academic community must work online to reduce COVID-19 transmission on the campus. During the LSSR, the academic community tends to mingle with the surrounding community rather than limiting themselves to the campus community, this will eventually cause an epidemic among themselves. Objectives: The objective is to define the physical symptoms and risk factors of COVID-19 on the academic community during LSSR on May 14th-29th, 2020. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 599 participants who sent back the informed consent forms. The variables were age, gender, zoning, screening test, contact tracing, the desire to receive any information, education, and communication on the virus, and any physical symptoms. Results: Physical Symptoms of COVID-19 had significant relationship with screening test (OR=1.19; 95% CI=1.25 to 3.63; p=0.005) and contact tracing (OR= 1.75; 95% CI=1.30 to 2.85; p=0.000). Conclusion: Screening status and contact tracing can be used as predictions to see COVID-19 physical symptoms, while areas zoning can be used to determine which location should be prioritized for screening and contact tracing. Follow up is needed to actively carry out screen tests for antibodies or PCR swabs before the university can be reopened.
