- Abstract
The Government of the Republic of Indonesia has guaranteed the right to health for the community, especially in Article 28H (1) of the 1945 Constitution. In the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, it becomes relevant and imperative to put forward the concept of public health. Public health is not a private issue that is a matter for individuals only, as well as the Covid 19 pandemic, which has become a global issue and the wider community, especially in Indonesia, so that behavior that endangers public health both individually and in groups can be considered a threat on public health. The Government’s implementation of restrictions on community activities during the Covid-19 pandemic is in line with the Syracuse Principles. Based on a qualitative descriptive approach, the purpose of this study is to answer the problem of how to implement the Syracuse Principles and public health rights during the COVID-19 pandemic from a human rights perspective. The study results show that the state has taken the necessary steps to guarantee the right to public health, such as restrictions on community activities (PSBB, PPKM, WFH) and regulatory guarantees so that people’s health is maintained.
