Currently, the COVID- 19 has spread to more than 200 countries in the world. It has taken more than 80.000 lives. One of approaches implemented by a number of countries is known as ‘lockdown’ policy. Many countries have implemented a lockdown policy. However, many other countries do not agree with this policy. As a result of the spread of the virus from person to person very quickly, several governments in various countries impose lockdowns. It was reported that Indonesia would impose a lockdown due to the spread of the corona virus, so what is the impact of the implementation of the lockdown in Indonesia? Will it have an impact on the economy? Governments in various countries impose lockdowns. It was reported that Indonesia would impose a lockdown due to the spread of the corona virus, so what is the impact of the implementation of the lockdown in Indonesia? Will it have an impact on the economy? Quarantine or lockdown. The central government must provide the main supply of raw materials and water, which was difficult before the covid-19 and whereas previously it was difficult to obtain basic food necessities, with a surge in inflation with the government having to provide material main staples. Regarding quarantine / lockdown there must be some pros and cons in it. Indeed, if the lockdown is finally approved by the central government, it will make it easier to deal with the covid-19 pandemic, this form of affirmation will also be followed by the Indonesian people who are difficult to regulate. The government′s choice not to impose a lockdown and follow South Korea′s steps in dealing with co-19 is certainly not wrong, but if viewed from the strength of the Indonesian economy under South Korea in terms of its GDP, it is not certain that Indonesia can follow the economic recovery as quickly as South Korea compared to If Indonesia does a lockdown, this is also supported by the opinion of senior economist Faisal Basri who assesses that the Indonesian economic rebound process will be faster if the lockdown is implemented, the distribution and handling of Covid-19 will also be easier so that the conditions of the Indonesian people are also expected to be safer.
