Since the presence of the Covid-19 pandemic, various policies have been issued by the central govern-ment and regional governments to provide a response to the community in order to maintain safety and good social security for the community.  The form of regional policies as a form of regional government response in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic is in accordance with the social dynamics that occur in the community.  The existence of regional policy will certainly be adaptive and efficient in dealing with Covid-19 in the regions. Conformity is one of the important considerations in determining various poli-cies.   Therefore, this research will focus on the selected regional policy as a strategy to accelerate the re-sponse to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Bali Province.  The method in this research uses a qual-itative approach with descriptive analysis techniques, that means there is a description that will discuss related themes through primary data obtained from literature studies in strengthening the research.  The results in this research are a form of contextualization of Pancasila in regional policy as an effort to over-come Covid-19 in Bali Province. The values of regional wisdom that grow in Balinese society have rele-vance to the values of Pancasila which make Pancasila a guiding principle for the community.  This also facilitates Balinese regional geniuses to continue exist in every line of people's lives, one of which is through regional policy.
