Abstract
The covid-19 pandemic since early 2020 has multiplier effect towards social life activity. Various countries all around the world implemented lockdown policy to decrease the spread of covid-19 even though social activity restraint that becomes part of lockdown could have negative impact. Many experts mentioned that there have been massive de-democratization and the violation of socio-economic rights. The Indonesian government tried to take a win-win solution by implementing Large Scale Social Restraint (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar, PSBB). The research will compare it to the policy and regulations made in some ASEAN countries members which have similarities with Indonesia. This is a juridical normative research with comparative and statute approach. This research conclude that the implementation of social restraint could be an effective way to decrease the confirmed Covid-19 cases in Indonesia as long as it is supported by strict regulation followed by the public awareness. The state should guarantee and assure the rights of life of the citizens for the impact of this policy. A good cooperativeness between the government and citizens takes an important role to minimize the impact of Covid-19 prevention.
