Covid 19 attacks all aspects of human life on a global scale.The Indonesian government implemented a policy called Large-Scale Social Restrictions to reduce transmission.The mobility of people automatically changes due to these restrictions, especially in urban areas in Indonesia.Because high individual mobilization usually has to be limited, urban communities are affected more quickly.Despite the condition that still leaves a lot of structural homework to be burdened by the state, the concern for urban communities is slowly growing by working together to fight the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia.This paper aims to look critically at how urban societies face Covid-19 through digital mutual cooperation (gotong royong), which often occurs with the perspective of social capital.The research method used is a qualitative method with literature study.The results of the study show that social capital works like an "anchor" in digital mutual cooperation activities.The three aspects, namely networking, trust, and values and norms are intertwined in social capital.
