Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has not only had an impact on public health, but has also affected the economic conditions, education and social life of the Indonesian people. Based on data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), the number of positive patients infected with Covid-19 in Indonesia reached 4,114,334 positive cases of people as of December 31 2021. This pandemic has caused several local governments, especially Lubuklinggau City, to implement a Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy which has implications for limiting community activities, including economic activities, educational activities, and other social activities. This study uses qualitative research. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that effectiveness has not been maximized to be implemented. This condition can be seen by the high number of cases of people infected with Covid-19. Second, the efficiency of the policy for handling Covid-19 in Lubuklinggau City is still not related to the budget used and the lack of human resources in the process of handling Covid-19. Third, responsiveness. The implementation of the policy for handling Covid-19, the Government of Lubuklinggau City has not been very responsive to the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. This can be seen from the slightly late Lubuklinggau City Government making regulations to prevent the spread of Covid-19, such as the recently issued Lubuk Linggau Mayor Regulation No. 31 of 2020 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Discipline and Law Enforcement of Health Protocols as an Effort to Prevent and Control Corona in August 2021 which in July 2020 Lubuklinggau City was categorized as a red zone, which means cases of being infected with Covid-19 are very high. Meanwhile, the first case of Covid-19 was detected in Lubuklinggau City in early April 2021.
