Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia implemented the obligation to attach a negative Covid-19 certificate for the RT-PCR test and Antigen Swab as a condition for traveling for transportation modes. This policy has attracted many protests because it burdens the community because the government is considered not to regulate the Highest Retail Price (HET). This research uses a descriptive method with a critical perspective with data findings and the fact that the prices of RT-PCR and Antigen Swab tests vary so that it raises suspicions of a business game from test service providers that is detrimental to consumers.
