  Corona virus is a plague that currently makes the world panic. From https://stoppneumonia.id/informasi-tentang-virus-corona-novel-coronavirus/ we can know that Coronavirus is a type of virus that is contagious and causes disease in humans and animals. this virus attacks the respiratory tract. A new type of coronavirus found in humans since an extraordinary event appeared in Wuhan China, in December 2019, was later given the name Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV2), and caused Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). According to data from merdeka.com, the spread of the corona virus continues to increase, especially in Indonesia. Then how can we overcome it?
     First, the government should provide information and understanding as well as the right regulations to be understood and obeyed by the public. Such as forming counseling groups about the corona virus in communities that are far from information and communication sources, creating a reliable source of information, apply large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) in all areas both areas that are in the zone of red, yellow and green, etc.. In kompas.com, the government was asked to improve the way information was delivered by the corona virus by Eko in a discussion on 'Anticipatory Pandemic Corona Steps' at Smaft FM, Saturday (3/14/2020). The government was also asked to provide facts related to the development of the corona virus so that people do not consider that the corona virus is a mild case. Based on https://kemlu.go.id/brussels/id/news/6349/kebintah-pemerintah-republik-indonesia-ter-relabah-wabah-covid-19 we also know that the government has provided a very appropriate policy, but how is the implementation?

  Second, the public must not be ignorant of the corona virus and government regulations. Various policies made by the government certainly are not easy policies. These policies are made with due regard for many considerations. However, based on data from the survey at https://www.kompas.com/sains/read/2020/04/02/100200323/various-responses-rakyat-for-government-related-handling-covid-19?page= all only 5.6 percent of the public is proud of the policies in handling this case. From this we know that there are still many people who do not support the policies made by the government so that the implementation of policies made by the government is not optimal. This is one of the causes of the difficulty of preventing the spread of the corona virus.

  Third, the public and the government must implement health protocols. The government has issued a policy that allows people under the age of 45 to return to their activities. That was one of them to maintain the economic stability of the community. Previously, everyone, regardless of age class, was asked to remain at home in order to cut the distribution of the corona virus that caused Covid-19. The application of this health protocol is also related to the term "new normal" which we currently understand as freedom. However, the term "new normal" does not mean freedom. In kompas.com, according to the Team Leader of the Task Force for the Acceleration of Covid-19 Handling Wiku Adisasmita, new normal is a change in behavior to continue to carry out normal activities but added health protocols to prevent Covid-19 transmission. some health protocols that must be applied by the public are keep hand hygiene, do not touch the face, apply a good and correct cough and sneeze ethics, wear masks, keep a distance, independent isolation and maintain health. Then what should the government do to make public want to follow the government policies?

 The last, the government should give stricter sanctions to people who do not care about government regulations and policies. In https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2020/04/06/10272001/langkah-hukum-di-tengah-penangan-wabah-covid-19-ini-pangg Violation- which?page=all has been very clearly notified various sanctions that have been set by the government to control the community in responding to policies made by the government. But we hope that without these sanctions we must understand that the policies made by the government must be obeyed.

In conclusion, Unity is the key to surviving the corona virus. The government and the community are the two parties who will determine whether the spread of the corona virus will end or not. The government must have strict policies and the public must trust and implement these government policies as a form of support and unity in breaking the chain of the spread of the corona virus.
