ANALISA KEBIJAKAN HUKUM KARANTINA DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

Abstract

The purpose of this study is whether the government's policy in handling COVID-19 has been effective, and how to implement the lockdown policy based on Law Number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine. The method used in this study is normative legal research using a statutory, conceptual and case approach, the data analysis used is descriptive-qualitative. The results of the study that government policies in handling Covid-19 have not been effective based on Lawrence Meir Friedman's theory, substantially the legal substance of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy does not meet the requirements to be said to be implementing regulations of Article 60 of Law no. 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine. From a legal structure, enforcement of the PSBB is not effective, because of the many violations. This reason is because overlapping policies between the center and the regions are considered as one of the factors that make PSBB ineffective. Then the lack of synergy between local governments in implementing PSBB policies. Culturally, it is a legal culture that the implementation of the PSBB policy has many residents who do not comply with the policy, when viewed from the data on violations committed by residents during the implementation of the PSBB. The government should have implemented a Lockdown policy when the Covid-19 pandemic increased because of the application of the "Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto" principle.
