Three months of Coronavirus, a comparative reading of containment and pandemic control strategies

In this first article in a series of articles in the field of World Health Policy in the Mediterranean and International Relations’ Unit for Studies of alTaraqi Center, on the Corona Virus pandemic, the researcher attempted to summarize the various efforts to contain the virus and mitigate its spread, and the extent of its effectiveness, made by some countries in the past three months where the epidemic has spread based on the available information. One of the researcher’s conclusions is that “this virus has dug its name in a history that has not yet been written and this heavy guest has become part of our fearful present and our unknown future. The shape of this future will depend entirely on the decisions that countries and peoples will make in the coming weeks.”
