To prevent the spread of Covid-19, the government asks people to keep their distance from each other, avoid crowded places such as gathering in houses of worship, markets, malls, and not to conduct events that reason many people such as weddings, meetings, and seminars. Against the steps taken by this government, many people think that it is contrary to human rights. This research method uses normative juridical approach methods with data analysis methods using qualitative data analysis. The results of this study show that government regulation should still pay attention to people's rights, such as the right to work, health, and so on. Applying the law in an emergency must be acted wisely, not to debate so that people's rights are ignored. In addition, the role of the community is also needed to remain in compliance with health protocols in a disciplined manner so that the transmission of the Covid-19 virus can be suppressed.
