Abstract

The emergence of Covid-19 pandemic in all countries around the world causes extraordinary social changes in various aspects of people’s lives, from health, economy, politic, to culture. When the President announced the first case of Covid-19 in Indonesia in March 2020, what implied was optimism that the virus would not spread in Indonesia, so that it was not followed up with policies that showed preparedness. In fact, what happened was confusion in handling Covid-19 in basic aspects. Indonesia had not put its responses to the pandemic in a more humanist and inclusive policy framework. Many of them still relied on economic logics. As a result, multiple vulnerable groups and new vulnerable groups emerged. The purpose of the writing of this article is to examine: 1) the characteristics of the Covid-19 pandemic disaster, which makes double-vulnerable groups and even has the potential to create new vulnerable groups, 2) Indonesian Government policies in handling these vulnerabilities, and 3) some reflections on inclusive policies in dealing with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This type of research is descriptive research with literature study methods. From this research, it is hoped that it can encourage the government to make transformative policies that are oriented towards social justice in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.
