“…In contrast, strict city lockdown and home quarantine order decreased the migration rate by 54.15% ( Fang et al, 2020 ). Although low mobility is accompanied with less social contact ( Zhu et al, 2020c ), some unexpected events (e.g., George Floyd) and large festival (e.g., Kumbh Mela) led to an explosion in of new confirmed cases ( Valentine et al, 2020 ; Visaria and Dharamdasani, 2021 ). For example, 5-day abnormal growth were observed in all six cities surveyed, including Atlanta (4.24%), Houston (16.76%), Jacksonville (32.35%), Miami (8.3%), Orlando (51.75%), and Phoenix (4.26%).…”

“…India faced a shortage of testing kits and personal protective equipment at the beginning of the pandemic and relied on imported supplies Grover et al, [42]. India also faced challenges in scaling up its testing capacity and implementing effective contact tracing due to its large population and limited resources [26,7]. India adopted a strategy of testing only symptomatic individuals or those with a travel history or contact with confirmed cases.…”

The COVID-19 outbreak, which emerged in the early part of 2020 and spread across the world, exposed the governance and decision-making processes as well as structural flaws in the healthcare system, but it also sparked the spirit of man to survive. The pandemic posed significant challenges to lives, health systems, and the economies of even the giant economic powers. Governments across the globe responded and continue to respond in various ways to control the spread and mitigate the consequences as much as possible. Differences exist across the regions regarding responses to the situation. Many countries have had different experiences and travelled on different and similar trajectories in the course of the pandemic. In this review, Europe, Asia, America, and Africa are compared and contrasted in their responses to the pandemic. The responses from France, India, the United States of America, and South Africa are analysed. The first cases that were recorded, the number of cases at lockdowns, the responses to the pandemic, and the leadership role of governments are all examined. Although the world rose to the challenge of the pandemic, it is imperative to develop deliberate global health system collaborations in the health information sector where knowledge and data are shared regularly and capacities are built to be able to mitigate quickly any future outbreak. Although the worst prediction for the African nations did not come to pass, they should individually and collaboratively develop robust healthcare systems, that can detect, prevent and manage future pandemics and also complement the global health system. There is also the need for coordination of information by national leaders to avoid conflict information that creates doubts in the minds of the people.
