Begging activity has become a familiar sight in Lhokseumawe City. In every corner of this city there are beggars who come, starting from the intersection of traffic lights, restaurants / cafeterias, mosques, even in the campus area there are also beggars. Since the beginning of the year Indonesia has been infected with the Covid 19 pandemic, known as the corona virus. In Lhokseumawe, this case occurred in April 2020. The case that occurred in Lhokseumawe did not make beggars worry about doing their usual activities. It is as if the virus is only a fabrication by certain parties to frighten people to seek income. This paper seeks to analyze the policies of the Lhokseumawe City government in dealing with beggars during the Covid 19 pandemic. Using descriptive analysis methods with a qualitative approach.Data collection techniques using the method of observation, interview and documentation. The data that the researchers obtained were analyzed by several steps, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation and finally drawing conclusions. The results show that there are no policies specifically made to deal with beggars during the Covid period. The Lhokseumawe City Government only uses policies that have existed before the Covid 19 pandemic, which are aligned with several other policies made during the Covid 19 pandemic.
