“…Finally, Figure 4 is presented to show how well the simple model (with very few selected significant inputs used) in matching the observed dailyCovid-19 cases per 1000 people. The importance of these few selected inputs is in agreement with earlier works related to the importance of controlling interval movement x8[53], public campaigns x12[54][55], debt or contract relief x11[56], change in indoor activities x17[57][58], workplace closures[59][60], and public campaigns x12[61].…”

Covid-19 pandemic badly affects most countries in the world both sociologically and economically. Taiwan, however, manages to handle its pandemic remarkably well before and after its Covid-19 cases spike. This paper aims to describe Taiwan’s strategy on keeping the cases low and to identify significant factors related to this spike. These factors are found through the use of a stepwise regression model. The model inputs are daily data sets that belong to the three grouped indicators: Containment and closures, Economic responses and Health systems. In addition, the number of Covid-19 tests and changes in the number of people attending indoor and outdoor activities are also given as model inputs. The model output is the daily covid-19 confirmed cases. It is found that restriction in internal move, government campaign, debt or contract relieved, indoor activities changes, work closures and their interactions are amongst the most significant factors leading to the sharp jump in Covid-19 cases. The model is able to explain almost 88% of the cases. It is important that these factors are taken into consideration by any government in its preparation for an upcoming pandemic.

“…Insights from the behavioural and social sciences are key to better understanding how different communication mechanisms can be used effectively. For example, studies indicate that eliciting pride, joy, or hope is generally more effective in motivating behavioural change than negative messaging targeted toward fear, guilt, or shame (OECD, 2021 [104]) (Brennan and Binney, 2010 [105]). Some countries have developed specialised teams with behavioural insight (BI) expertise to advise crisis managers, although integration of these teams into formal communication processes has not always been straightforward.…”

enabled elected officials to simply select scientific information that aligned with their predetermined policies. Future action is required to ensure that science advisory structures and processes access a wide breadth of expertise.Despite the global implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant lack of appetite across countries to exchange experience or co-ordinate response efforts. The pandemic has disproportionately impacted particular places and population groups based on their historic and cultural dynamics, access to health services and social determinants of health. This called for co-ordination and exchange between local, national, and international science advice activities and the integration of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) considerations. In a similar vein, mutual trust between scientists, government actors, and the public is also shaped by historical legacies and culture and in many jurisdictions, long-term actions are required to ensure the trust of citizens in scientific and public institutions.Public communication and engagement posed one of the most important and formidable challenges in responding effectively to the COVID-19 pandemic.In general, conventional top-down public communication strategies were ineffective because they failed to integrate and address underlying situational and scientific uncertainties. In many instances, the failure of official communications to openly address changing or conflicting scientific evidence damaged the credibility of authorities, making it more difficult to mitigate misinformation. The most effective communications addressed the needs, concerns, and lived experiences of targeted population groups. It was important also that messages were conveyed by representatives with credible scientific backgrounds who invested time and effort in communicating with empathy and relevance.Despite its positive potential for public engagement, social media has been the primary source, or conduit, for mis-and disinformation and has facilitated the politicisation of science, and polarisation of views. Access to, and use of, social media, is far from universal and mainstream media -newspapers, radio and television -have been the main source of COVID-related information for many citizens. Effective communication efforts during the pandemic have had to use multiple approaches to both amplify sciencebased messaging and respond to mis-and disinformation campaigns.

“…The two-step flow model of communication (Nisbet and Kotcher 2009;Choi 2015) suggests that information in networked spaces does not always travel in linear, hierarchical ways, and highlights the important role of micro-influencers (Abidin and Brown 2018)-users who are well-connected across networks and enjoy a certain level of credibility or trust, as well as intimacy, within their immediate networked communities. Such micro-influencers or micro-celebrities (Tufekci 2013) do not always have large followings, but are perceived as authoritative figures by their peers and are often seen as key channels providing curated information about important political, social or cultural matters; as potential agents of mobilization (Tufekci 2013); and as role models guiding decision-making, including in crisis situations (Buijzen et al 2021). They can serve as 'bridges' between parallel networked spaces and can use social media as a connector between official communication channels (government, health authorities, etc.)…”
