One of the efforts to reduce the spread of Covid-19 is by promoting science literacy related to Covid-19. Here we conduct a study on science literacy measured through 3 indicators, first identifying scientific issues, second explaining phenomenon scientifically, and third utilizing scientific evidence. The topic raised was Covid-19 which was declared as a pandemic in March 2020. The research instrument was 20 multiple choice questions about Covid-19, which were given to 98 students of science education study programs. The results obtained show that the student's science literacy in the first indicator gets a percentage of 77.20% with a good category, the second indicator is 84.80% with a very good category, and the third indicator is 90.60% with a very good category too. The conclusion is the topics about Covid-19 have been understood by science education students for themselves, others, and their surroundings. The implication of this research is that science education students can literate issues related to Covid-19, both as individuals, communities, and good Indonesian citizens. © 2021 Author(s).
