Containment Strategies for COVID-19

Case: Travica, Bob. “Containment Strategies for COVID-19 Pandemic.” University of Manitoba. See attached PDF. Case Summary: This document looks at models of pandemic containment strategy that was created in real-time as the world responded to COVID-19. Three were identified and analyzed: Restrictive, Permissive, and Hybrid. Cultural assumptions are also considered & discussed. Directions: Carefully read the assigned case and answer the assigned questions for the case. Select one of the three containment strategies discussed: Restrictive, Permissive, or Hybrid. Assess its strengths and weaknesses. What additional evidence or information would b​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​e needed to assess it further? Pick a country that faced the COVID-19 pandemic. Assess its response through the containment strategy you selected in the previous question. Was it successful in handling the pandemic? Why or why not? Lastly, Travica notes “an early intervention in preventing and controlling a pandemic is as important as preparations for confronting an enemy in a war.” (Section 4.4 Response Timing) As many public health experts warn a similar pandemic will likely come again, what are some lessons learned from dealing with COVID-19 that governments and health organizations should keep in mind to prevent or manage the next pandemic?
