Abstract

On a national scale, the number of people exposed to Covid-19 is still high, and it began to growing attention from the scientific community. The rapid spread of Covid-19 has not been able to stop it from developed countries. Indonesia, which territory is so vast and has diverse cultures have difficulty prevent the virus spread. Still, high people are exposed to Covid-19 because people do not comply with health regulations set by the government. This study uses a normative juridical research method with the anthropology of law approach, the data sources used obtained from literature studies, and analysis techniques obtained from literature and document studies. It is a challenge that must be faced because of the disobedience of them to it because it does not involve indigenous leaders in preventing the spread of Covid-19. For the majority of Indonesians remain to obey to their indigenous leaders because they assume that they have more religious magical abilities. The people will comply with the regulation that can prevent the spread of Covid-19 if engaging indigenous leaders.
