Abstract

The implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) as an effort to control the spread of Covid-19 carried out by the government to deal with the Covid-19 Pandemic. However, in its implementation, the PPKM policy has encountered various problems such as the application of sanctions that refer to the Criminal Code, laws, and Regional Regulations. In fact, the basis for implementing this PPKM is only based on the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs. This makes the government seem selective in implementing a regulation. This research uses normative juridical research using a statute approach, descriptive analytical research and qualitative research forms. Based on the results of the study, it is known that: The regulation of criminal law against violators of the Emergency PPKM rules in the Indonesian criminal justice system, namely according to the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs No. 16 of 2021 concerning Amendment to the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs No. 15 of 2021 concerning the Imposition of Restrictions on Emergency Community Activities for Corona Virus Disease 2019 in the Java and Bali Regions in point (c) it is stated that "Everyone can be subject to sanctions for those who commit violations in the context of controlling infectious disease outbreaks based on: Article 212 - Article 218 of the Criminal Code, Article 14 of Law no. 4 of 1984 concerning Outbreaks of Infectious Diseases, and Article 93 of Law no. 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine, Regional Regulations, Regional Head Regulations, Provisions of other relevant laws and regulations.
