This study is aimed to get the clear picture of the public^s perception of the implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) which is carried out in Java and Bali islands. This study involved 659 respondents. The data collection was carried out through online. This study focused to capture the public^s perception of anxiety and the benefits of implementing the PPKM. The results of the study showed that 85.4% of the total respondents believed that PPKM could suppress the spread of Covid-19, although there was still concern that PPKM was not effective enough. 92.9% of the total respondents become more appreciative with their health, and more understand about their strengths and weaknesses during PPKM, but they also worried about the quality of their children^s education. The conclusion of this study shows that the implementation of PPKM is considered effective to decrease the spread of Covid-19.
