Abstract

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a newly discovered disease in 2019 which has a transmittable trait. People who are infected with this virus will experience respiratory disease from mild to moderate category and be able to recover without special treatment. Government policies for handling Covid19 in Indonesia and Taiwan from March 2020 until now continue to find the spotlight in terms of public satisfaction. Citizens are also used to respond and assess the government’s performance in running the government, including dealing with the pandemic. Citizens measure how responsive, how good or bad, how satisfactory or unsatisfactory is the government’s performance in dealing with the pandemic. Those measurements are the common questions to assess the government performance which is included in the rubric of the study of public support for the political system. The research was conducted to compare the Indonesian and Taiwanese governments on how public supervision of the policies was carried out by the two countries for handling Covid19. The policies that were taken by the Indonesian government are almost the same, some of those are the same, with the policies taken by the Taiwanese government. This research will also examine how social media Twitter responds in the process of disseminating false information or hoax news on the performance of both the Indonesian and Taiwanese governments which makes government policies sometimes misinterpreted by the public. The purpose of this research is expected to be a reference for the government in making policies for handling Covid-19 in the aspect of building public satisfaction. Nine indicators will be discussed, namely (1). Clarity of goals and objectives, (2). What is Measured and Will Be Done, (3). Data and Operations Transparency (4). Assignment of Explicit and Unquestionable Accountability (5). Accountability for Trickles Down Results, (6). There must be an incentive to do (7).
