This type of research is descriptive research with knowledge and attitude variables. The sample in this study were 100 respondents from the community in Kupang City. Data was collected using a questionnaire in a google form which was shared via Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. The data collected were processed and analyzed descriptively to see the frequency distribution of the research variables. The knowledge of the community in Kupang City about tuberculosis is 90% including the Good category, 8% in the sufficient category and 2% in the less category. The attitude of the people in Kupang City in the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis transmission is mostly in the Good category (99%) and the remaining 1% is in the Less category.
