Introduction
Indonesia's foreign policy since Joko Widodo became president is said to be very inward looking, more concerned with domestic affairs (Situmorang: 2015). Not only because President Joko Widodo is considered inexperienced in foreign affairs, but also because the ideology brought by his supporting party, namely the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, is more concerned with domestic problems. In other words, there is a view that the implementation of foreign policy under Jokowi's administration is oriented towards domestic interests, especially protecting Indonesian citizens abroad (Rosyidin: 2017).
Another view states that jokowi-era foreign policy provides a large space, including two important issues, namely the issue of the global maritime axis and economic diplomacy (Weatherbee: 2016). Both are equally dedicated to strengthening Indonesia's interests in the country. In order to build the world's maritime axis, for example, it mentioned a program to strengthen infrastructure development and connectivity in addition to the management of Indonesia's marine wealth. Jokowi's foreign policy will also be pragmatic with a lack of clarity on foreign issues, jokowi's leadership will be less played and the reaction to international disputes will be more nationalist (Connely: 2014).
Indonesia is said to have four foreign policy priorities, namely advancing Indonesia's identity as an archipelagic country, increasing its role at the global level in middle power country diplomacy, increasing engagement in the Indo Pacific and economic diplomacy. Another opinion says that foreign policy in the Joko Widodo era took a new approach called "pro-people diplomacy" or "pro-people diplomacy" (Andika: 2016). By taking this path, which is different from the foreign policy of the Soesilo Bambang Yudhoyono era which emphasizes Indonesia's role in the international world, this pro-people foreign policy has become an inward focus style. It is stated that Indonesia puts the interests of the people at the center of Indonesian diplomacy.
Taking into account a number of views that by relying on the concept that Indonesia's foreign policy is closely related to national interests, it presents itself as a state both at home and abroad as seen in the framework of policy, the safety of citizens abroad is a concern. Likewise, Indonesia's domestic interests also have an interest in increasing bilateral cooperation both at the regional and international levels. The search for vaccines through cooperation is one of the characteristics of Indonesia's foreign policy.
Indonesia's foreign policy that emerged with the concept of protecting the population is actually part of what Holsti (1992:83) called as a foreign policy goal to achieve prosperity. With diplomatic instruments, cooperation is also directed at achieving benefits for its citizens. In the context of Indonesia's increasingly vigorous search for vaccines after about four months of the Covid-19 outbreak, there is a tendency for searches to be carried out abroad and by establishing bilateral of residents who died has reached more than 30,000 people, while the people who have been confirmed to recover from covid19 have reached more than 1 million. To overcome and prevent increasingly massive transmission, the community is asked to maintain health protocols. For all this, policy making is carried out by the government and the ranks of ministries and institutions to increase the number of hospitals, and places that can be used as pasein isolation rooms. All of this certainly requires a lot of funds. So that the government needs to make efforts to overcome it, the effort referred to is to recofusing and relocating the apbn and APBD budgets, by issuing and stipulating PERPU 1 of 2020, concerning State Financial Policy and Financial System Stability. Which can be used as a guideline in the implementation.
All of this is done so that financial management officials in overcoming the handling of Covid-19 have a clear legal basis. The establishment of Perpu into law is a form of government effort in an effort to protect and save the citizens of the community.
Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) are almost all over the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. It is a step to prevent increasingly massive transmission in Indonesia. The implementation of PSBB volume 1 and PSBB volume 2 and PSBB transition to new normal has been carried out by a large part of the provincial, regency/city regions, but what has happened, it has been almost 10 months more, this Covid19 disaster has not subsided. Even entering 2021, the transmission rate is increasingly massive, confirmed the positive number of people who were infected until February 2021 as many as 1.3 million more, and community residents who died due to covid 19 reached more than 30,000. Meanwhile, the number of confirmed residents of the community who recovered was more than 1 million. For this reason, the Government felt the need to continue the implementation of regional quarantine, and limit the community's space for movement, which originally, PSBB was carried out with large-scale social restrictions, currently in 2021, regional quarantine is narrowed the space for community movement, at the regency/city level, even to the village, Rt and RW levels, for areas that are included in the red zone of covid 19 transmission, especially Java and Bali, because these two regions are the contributors to the positive  Table 1 The amount of allocation, the realization of funds for handling  December 2020 (in trillions of rupiah).

Together with relevant stakeholders , the government must also go through a number of certain stages when it comes to formulating public policies. Through these stages, several problems were finally known that must be followed up immediately.
