The purpose of this research is to explain the capability of the Padang city government in dealing with Covid-19, where Padang City is one of the cities in West Sumatra whose level of spread of Covid-19 is quite worrying. This is based on the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in the city of Padang when the New Normal policy began to be implemented. The low awareness of the community to implement health protocols is considered one of the factors for the soaring positive case of Covid-19 in the city of Padang. The theory that I use in this research is Disaster Management and Local Government Capability by Bevaola Kusumasari. The data collection method is qualitative, in the form of interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the capability of the Padang City government in dealing with Covid-19 shows that the City of Padang has the ability to suppress the rate of positive Covid-19 numbers. However, Padang City is still weak in terms of law enforcement in dealing with Covid-19, because there are still people who violate health protocols.
