This research is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case approach. The results of the study found that the laws and regulations provide legal protection for the people are very limited in the use of government discretion during the Covid-19 pandemic. The people are only given the right to review the laws and regulations to the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court. The people are not entitled to file a lawsuit to the Administrative Court against decisions, actions and/or policy rules set by the Government in the context of handling the Covid-19 pandemic, and based on good faith and in accordance with the laws and regulations. In the future such provisions need to be changed by giving the rights of the aggrieved people to challenge decisions, actions, and/or policy rules with the aim of preventing the occurrence of executive dictatorship and excessive discreation on the grounds of danger, disaster or emergency conditions.

Abstrak
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan dan menganalisis perlindungan hukum bagi rakyat dalam penggunaan diskresi pemerintahan pada masa pandemi Covid 19. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa peraturan perundang-undangan memberikan perlindungan hukum bagi rakyat yang sangat terbatas dalam penggunaan diskresi pemerintahan pada masa pandemi Covid-19. Rakyat hanya diberikan hak untuk melakukan pengujian peraturan perundang-undangan kepada Mahkamah Konstitusi dan Mahkamah Agung. Rakyat tidak berhak untuk mengajukan gugatan ke Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara terhadap keputusan, tindakan dan/atau peraturan kebijakan yang ditetapkan oleh Pemerintah dalam rangka penanganan pandemi Covid-19, serta didasarkan pada itikad baik dan sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan. Ke depan ketentuan demikian perlu diubah dengan memberikan hak rakyat yang dirugikan untuk menggugat keputusan, tindakan, dan/atau peraturan kebijakan dengan tujuan untuk mencegah terjadinya executive dictatorship dan excessive discreation dengan alasan terjadinya bahaya, bencana atau kondisi darurat.
