Abstract

The purpose of this research is to reveal the innovation model and obstacles 
faced by the Indonesian government in handling the Covid-19 epidemic case. 
Based on previous research, supply chain management is needed because 
supply chain disruptions and inventory depletion (such as medical supplies 
and medical equipment) both in high and low resource settings have 
catapulted the core components of IPC 8 (environment, materials, and 
equipment for IPC). The research method used is qualitative, especially 
phenomenology. The novelty of this research lies in the innovation of the 
supply chain model and the Covid-19 handling constraints obtained through a 
series of empirical studies and literature reviews that allow it to be used by 
decision makers. The results revealed that various innovations to meet the 
supply chain relating to the handling of Covid-19 have been carried out by the 
government ranging from the creation of special hospitals, the appointment of 
public hospitals to the referral hospitals specifically Covid-19, the purchase of 
medicines from other countries that were imported , a mask development 
company, increases mask production for state-owned and private companies 
that produce masks, increases alcohol production, and recruits human 
resources in the health sector, especially for final year students majoring in 
health. While various obstacles faced, namely the low awareness of the 
community to do social distinguish in daily interactions, low awareness of the 
community to work from home, learn from home, and worship at home and 
the many people who have to work outside the home when they want to fulfill 
the day their daily needs, the threat of an unemployment explosion, and fears 
of social insecurity are also the causes of government difficulties in making 
locked decisions.
