The national security issues in particular non-traditional security issues such as law enforcement, health, food, supply chain management, industry etc. are severely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak in all countries of the world. As such, the developing country like Indonesia has largely been suffering from this epidemic. In this context, this paper attempts to analyse some national security issues that are affecting Indonesia, which is currently struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic. Proposed here are policy measures to combat both present and future challenges. The study uses secondary data collected from different sources concerning COVID-19 pandemic and security issues of Indonesia. The study analyses the data based on descriptive statistics, highlighting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Indonesian law enforcement issues, and security of health, food, supply chain management, industrial and other economic sectors. The study argues that if the vulnerability continues in these security-related issues due to pandemic, the country will face a harsh reality to manage the state-affairs. Therefore, the policy options are mainly concerned with the COVID-19 issue. Indonesia's government should identify what measures to take by conducting rapid diagnostics and polymerase chain reaction tests in the laboratory, respectively. Moreover, the government and relevant stakeholders need to develop strategies that break the stranglehold of COVID-19 transmission in order to resolve Indonesian national security concern.
国家安全问题，尤其是执法、卫生、食品、供应链管理、工业等非传统安全问题，在世界各国都受到新冠疫情的严重影响。因此，像印度尼西亚这样的发展中国家在很大程度上遭受了这场疫情的折磨。在此背景下，本文试图分析一些影响印度尼西亚的国家安全问题，该国目前正与新冠疫情作斗争。本文提出了应对当前和未来挑战的政策措施。该研究使用了从不同来源收集的关于新冠疫情和印度尼西亚安全问题的二手数据。该研究基于描述性统计对数据进行分析，突出了新冠疫情对印度尼西亚执法问题以及卫生、食品、供应链管理、工业和其他经济部门安全的影响。该研究认为，如果由于疫情，这些与安全相关的问题继续存在脆弱性，该国将面临管理国家事务的严峻现实。因此，政策选择主要关注新冠疫情问题。印度尼西亚政府应分别通过在实验室进行快速诊断和聚合酶链反应测试来确定采取何种措施。此外，政府和相关利益攸关方需要制定战略，打破新冠病毒传播的束缚，以解决印度尼西亚的国家安全问题。
