Coronavirus first detected in Indonesia on March 2nd, 2020 in Depok City, and the cases have been increasing since then. Indonesia’s Government decided Regional Quarantine as the solution to prevent the spread of coronavirus. 

This discussion summarized that to fight against this pandemic, stakeholders, including Government, Scientists, Urban Planners, etc. should be teaming up and arranging precise regulation. The Government should have a sense of crisis, for example, re-allocated a non-priority budget for handling Covid-19. Regional Quarantine should be monitored and evaluated, whether it was adequate to prevent the spread of the virus. Furthermore, a city should have Blueprint, SOP, emergence protocol of the Pandemic Situation. Therefore, a city can be more resilient to face any unpredictable pandemic.
