The Policy of Large-Scale Social Restriction (LSSR): Prevention Effort of COVID-19 and Community Compliance in Indonesia

Abstract

Covid-19 prevention efforts in Indonesia are carried out through several policies taken by the Government.
One of them is the policy of conducting Large-Scale Social Restriction (LSSR) for regions that meet the
requirements. LSSR and other policies that require community participation and discipline. The case curve
is still high. Many violations still occur. The easing discourse has been LSSR rolled out. The study was
aimed at evaluating the picture of the impact of LSSR policies in efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19
in Indonesia concerning current public discipline. The study was conducted with a descriptive approach that
was carried out through a literature study. The type of data used was secondary data. The results found that
the policies issued in the Covid-19 prevention efforts, both in the form of policies on physical distancing,
the use of masks, washing hands, to LSSR, all were related and depended on the level of community
discipline to carry out and obey them. But the reality in the field of discipline that occurs both personally
and collectively was still at a low level and requires further support. So that this also has an impact on the
increasing occurrence of Covid-19 cases in various regions, even though the area has implemented an LSSR
policy. It could be concluded that community discipline was the key to success in preventing Covid-19. The
LSSR policy can also be successful if the community was able to discipline it obediently.
