Abstract

The world is currently experiencing a health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, all aspects of public activities are disrupted, so that all government programs that have been neatly arranged are delayed. All thoughts, energy and funding are focused on handling COVID-19. And the ones most affected by COVID-19 are in the economic sector. Workers in the private sector, in tourism, are often laid off, as well as being laid off, thus adding to the burden on the government both at central and regional levels to overcome this. To implement the handling of COVID-19 in the regions, West Nusa Tenggara Province, issued Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2020 concerning Contagious Disease Control, as a basis for acting for local government officials in West Nusa Tenggara to tackle infectious diseases. Referring to Article 5 paragraph (1) of the Minister of Health Regulation Number 82 of 2014 concerning Contagious Disease Control, the Regional Government and the community are responsible for organizing Contagious Disease Control and its consequences. As a follow-up handling, referring to the letter of the Governor of West Nusa Tenggara Number 180/275 / KUM, dated 18 August 2020, regarding; Dissemination of the Raperda, which in essence assigns all officials (IPDN) to disseminate the Health Protocol, to the public, regarding that until now, there are no confirmed signs of sloping in the community. This is due to the lack of discipline in the community regarding the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19, therefore there is a need for socialization to the public.
