The Global Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

John Nkengasong et al. Med. .

Abstract

Global approaches towards pandemic control range from strict lockdowns to minimal restrictions. We asked experts worldwide about the lessons learned from their countries' response. Their voices converge on the importance of scientifically guided interventions to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and its impact on human health.
