Pandemi Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) adalah permasalahan global yang masih belum terselesaikan hingga saat ini. Akibat dari adanya pandemi Covid-19, seluruh negara-negara di dunia termasuk Indonesia mengalami krisis multisektoral yang berdampak pada aspek kesehatan politik, ekonomi, sosial, budaya, pertahanan dan keamanan, serta kesejahteraan masyarakat. Sejauh ini pemerintah Indonesia telah menerapkan berbagai macam kebijakan untuk menangani pandemi Covid-19, seperti Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB), New Normal, hingga Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) Darurat. Namun kebijakan-kebijakan tersebut ternyata belum efektif untuk mengatasi persoalan pandemi Covid-19, apalagi jika melihat varian baru Covid-19 yaitu Omicron, maka dibutuhkan kebijakan yang lebih efektif dan efisien agar penyebaran virus Covid-19 dapat dikendalikan yaitu melalui penerapan karantina wilayah atau Lockdown. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana tanggungjawab negara dalam menanggulangi peningkatan kasus Covid-19 melalui penerapan karantina wilayah atau lockdown. Dalam penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan karantina wilayah pada saat kasus Covid-19 meningkat merupakan suatu langkah yang tepat dilakukan pemerintah dengan tetap mengedepankan perlindungan dan distribusi kebutuhan hidup dasar dan hewan ternak untuk masyarakat selama dikarantina wilayah.
Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to examine the legality of the position and authority of the acting regional head, as well as to examine the dignity of democracy in the appointment of acting regional heads by the president and its construction after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 15/PUU-XX/2022. Methodology: This study applies normative legal research methods using a statutory, conceptual, and case approach. Results: The results of the study show that the appointment of acting regional heads is the operationalization of the concept of politically appointed presidential power and not the concept of election (political elected) as regional heads. The consequence is a lack of regional legitimacy and a lack of relations with the people because it is not the people's choice. This condition shows a portrait of the decline of democracy in the regions. In this case, the government should prepare by making implementing regulations related to the mechanism for selecting regional heads by not degrading the democratic values as mandated by the Constitutional Court in its decision Number 15/PUU-XX/2022. Applications of this study: This article provides an analysis of how democratic principles should still be applied in the process of appointing acting regional heads. This research is expected to be useful and can be a reference material for those who conduct research, especially with regard to the appointment of the acting regional head. Thus, this research is expected to enrich the scientific treasures and studies related to the mechanism for appointing acting regional heads. Novelty/ Originally of this study: The research related to the appointment of acting regional heads is still very minimal. So with the research that examines the dignity or portrait of democracy in the mechanism for appointing the acting regional head, it is considered very important as reference material in the process of implementing democracy in Indonesia.
