Covid-19 as a National Disaster and Its Impact on Infrastructure Development

Indonesia's Vision 2045 to become a developed country with the fifth largest GDP / GDP in the world needs to be supported by infrastructure which has a multiplier effect directly or indirectly for improving the nation's economy. However, the spread of Covid-19 around the world has had a significant impact on Indonesian economic actors in the infrastructure sector. The purpose of this research is to examine the Indonesian Government's policies on the sustainability of infrastructure project development due to Covid-19. The research method is based on normative juridical approach with analytical descriptive research specifications supported by primary legal materials, secondary law, tertiary law, and qualitative data analysis. Research results: (1) The policy of refocusing activities and budget reallocation to accelerate Covid-19 pandemic control has the effect of slowing the completion of infrastructure project development, however the government remains committed to infrastructure development as a national strategic program while still paying attention to the Covid-19 protocol and (2) Covid -19 as a non-natural national disaster is a form of force majeure that is temporarily (relatively) delaying the implementation of infrastructure development.
