Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic, which was first discovered in China, precisely in Wuhan in 2019, spread rapidly to various countries in the world, including Indonesia in 2020 and resulted in many casualties, which certainly made all countries in the world panic in handling this Covid-19 case. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused various crises that are quite bad in various parts of the world, both in the economic, social, and educational fields, especially crises in the health sector. The Covid-19 pandemic, which is increasingly widespread in various countries, is certainly the main thing for governments in countries, including Indonesia, to issue various policies where these policies are intended to be able to reduce the number of patients suffering from Covid-19 to make it more difficult to contract and/or anticipate the spread of the virus. The policy requires and requires everyone in each country to be disciplined in implementing the health protocols that have been made, namely 3M (wearing masks, maintaining a minimum physical distance of 1 m, washing hands with soap and staying away from crowds). Although the government has implemented various policies and prohibitions such as PPKM that must be carried out by the community, there are still people who violate and do not comply with these policies, which has resulted in the number of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia increasing very rapidly reaching even tens of thousands of people infected with the corona virus in a day. Therefore, the government must issue strict policies and prohibitions related to Covid-19 to be able to reduce the number of corona virus spread.
