Abstract

Since the end of February 2020, Indonesia has not been spared the impact of the corona virus outbreak
that previously hit other countries in the world. Corona outbreaks hit various joints, especially the economic
joints. One of the economic subsectors most affected is SMEs, because almost 90% of the workforce in Indonesia
is absorbed in this sector. Its contribution to GDP is quite large, reaching 60% or around Rp 8,400 Trillion.The
author tries to conduct this research with a descriptive method using secondary data from competent parties who
describe the efforts that must be made from the SMEs themselves with what the Indonesian government is doing
to overcome the impact of the spread of corona for SMEs in Indonesia.
