This study aims to examine the theory of securitization and relate it to the strategy undertaken by the Indonesian government to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. This is interesting to study because the main demands on every country during this pandemic are; what to do, how to do it, is the strategy for handling Covid-19 by the state the answer for the wider community? This question is the duty of the state to be able to provide a sense of security for the community. The research methodology will be carried out under a qualitative umbrella with the thick description method. The results found in this study were that Indonesia initially considered Covid-19 only as a health problem before the WHO gave an appeal. It can be said that this appeal is a norm that was formed in which Indonesia must implement an appeal from WHO. This is a turning point for the Indonesian government in dealing with the spread of Covid-19. In addition to forming this justification, the Indonesian people are also an important object in tackling the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia where the level of discipline of the Indonesian people determines the success of the Indonesian Government's direction in the issue of the spread of COVID-19 as a security issue.
