2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）引起了全球恐慌，农村地区也不例外。在日本农村地区，许多老年人独居，无法获得可靠的信息来源。在大流行期间，由于建议的社会隔离措施，老年人最初与社区隔离，即使农村社区没有病例。然而，各种正式和非正式的照顾者超越了他们通常的角色，试图重新连接农村老年人与他们的社区，并培养他们的社会联系;日本社区工作者减轻了农村老年人在COVID-19大流行中所经历的压力和恐惧。此外，这种流行病鼓励了日本农村的习俗。其中一个习俗是“Osekkai”。日语单词Osekkai描述了某人认为对他人有用和有意义的行为。Osekkai包括正式和非正式的护理，随着社交聚会开始消失，Osekkai允许个人处理大流行病造成的各种社会问题。基于Osekkai的会议可以加强农村人民的联系，提高他们的社会资本。通过Osekkai会议构建的农村人的活动不仅是基于证据，而且是基于依赖。这场前所未有的大流行不仅让我们认识到常规医疗保健和预防感染的重要性，也让我们认识到在社会动荡面前，培养社区中的社会联系至关重要。
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused worldwide panic, and rural areas are no exception. In Japanese rural areas, many older people live alone and lack access to reliable sources of information. During the pandemic, older adults were initially isolated from their communities because of the recommended social isolation measures, even when there were no cases in rural communities. However, various formal and informal caregivers went beyond their usual roles and tried to reconnect the older rural population with their communities and nurtured their social connections; Japanese community workers mitigated the stress and fear experienced by the rural elderly in the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, this pandemic encouraged rural Japanese customs. One such custom is “Osekkai.” The Japanese word Osekkai describes actions that someone considers useful and meaningful to perform for others. Osekkai involves both formal and informal care, and as social gatherings began to disappear, Osekkai allowed individuals to deal with the various social problems created by the pandemic. Conferences based on Osekkai can strengthen rural people’s connections and improve their social capital. Activities of rural people that are constructed through Osekkai conferences are not only evidence-based but also based on reliance. This unprecedented pandemic has taught us not only the importance of usual healthcare and precautions against infection but also that nurturing social connection in communities is crucial in the face of social turbulence.
