Abstract

Infectious diseases are a serious challenge to public health that requires effective legal regulation. This study aims to analyze the role of legal norms in regulating the obligations of the government and the community in efforts to prevent infectious diseases. Using a normative juridical approach, this study examines Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health, Minister of Health Regulation No. 82 of 2014 on Communicable Disease Management, and Law No. 6 of 2018 on Health Quarantine. The results of the analysis show that legal norms function to build a multi-layered framework of responsibility between the state and society, emphasize the principle of proportionality in limiting rights, and encourage the realization of a fair and sustainable disease prevention system. Legal norms not only regulate behavior but also form collective awareness to create solidarity in maintaining public health. This research emphasizes the importance of inter-institutional coordination, concrete service provision, and active community participation as a form of implementation of legal norms in the health sector.
