Abstract

The emergence of the Covid-19 epidemic that has infected all countries in the world, has caused extraordinary social changes in various aspects of people^s lives. Starting from health, economy, politics to the culture of society. Since it was announced by the President that in Indonesia there had been positive cases of Covid-19 last March, it was implied by optimism that the virus would not spread in Indonesia, so it was not followed by policies that showed preparedness. In fact, what happened was a stuttering handling of Covid-19 in basic aspects. Indonesia has not put its pandemic response responses in a more humanist and inclusive policy framework, much of it still relies on economic logics. As a result, multiple vulnerable groups and new vulnerable groups emerged. The purpose of writing the article is to examine: 1) the characteristics of the Covid-19 pandemic disaster, which makes groups vulnerable to multiple groups and even has the potential to create new vulnerable groups, 2) Indonesian Government policies in dealing with these vulnerabilities, and 3) some reflections on inclusive policies in dealing with the impact of the Covid pandemic -19 in Indonesia. The method used in writing articles is literature review.
