Using normative research with an orientation that is not based on conceptual. The initial beginnings that occurred in Indonesia resulted in changes in the application of the law, especially state administration law where an emergency had two components, namely the legal framework consisting of the constitution and the legislative basis for emergencies and the operational framework involving organizational structures and strategic plans for dealing with emergencies. In this case the government must immediately lockdown because in the principle of emergency state administration law is an absolute thing that must be done. To carry out lockdown, it requires firmness and a combined security of all parties. Lockdown must also be limited by legal norms such as a presidential decree to avoid arbitrariness by the government. Such understanding is important so that the country can run well.
