Abstract

The number of people who have been confirmed positive for Covid-19 continues to grow from time to time. Data for March 2021 shows that 1,419,455 people were who were confirmed positive for Covid-19, 1,243,117 patients recovered, and 38,426 patients died. The Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on increasing the burden of hospital care for symptomatic Covid-19 positive patients. The government has issued a policy to carry out self-isolation for Covid-19 positive patients who are asymptomatic at home or in certain places under supervision. This study aims to find and actualize the national health system, especially in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic through monitoring, supervision, and law enforcement against health protocol violators by implementing criminal sanctions against health protocol violators. With the implementation of these sanctions, it is hoped that those with Covid-19 who are self-isolating can comply with health protocols so that the spread of Covid-19 can be minimized. This research includes normative legal research, which is carried out by researching literature or secondary data. There are several weaknesses related to the supervision of Covid-19 patients who are self-isolating, such as weak monitoring, supervision, and law enforcement against health protocol violations, causing an increase in the spread of Covid-19. This study concludes that the application of criminal law as an ultimum remedium must be applied to Covid-19 patients who violate health protocols during self-isolation at home, one of which is by including criminal sanctions in regulations related to controlling Covid-19.
