“…Vietnamese Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control tried its best for Covid-19 effectively. Citizens were educated and timely preventive measures were adopted (Dreisbach, 2020). The participation principle of administrative state was followed by the citizens of the Vietnam which helped in managing the Corona pandemic.…”

A disaster like the Corona pandemic affected the functioning of administration in every country, whether democratic or communist or authoritarian/dictatorship or monarchical as well as those presidential or parliamentary form of government. The pandemic has significantly affected the process and functioning of administration. Asia, one of the biggest continents area-wise and population-wise, has also been affected. It has been observed that the concept of Administrative State propounded by Waldo (1984) is being followed in theory and practice in these countries. This article delves into emerging issues and challenges posed by the corona pandemic in Asian countries and their probable solutions in a time-bound manner on the basis of Waldo’s concept of Administrative State which always stands for rules, regulations, equality, efficiency, accountability and so on. Pandemic has certainly affected the functioning of administrative institutions in Asian countries, some largely and some at a lesser level. There are good prospects for most of the Asian countries for the growth and development in the post-pandemic period as the economy is on the trajectory and showing consistent growth. This article is based on descriptive analysis of government reports (including the health ministry) of countries, particularly from Asia, as well as reports/documents of international/regional organisations/institutions and articles/papers published by the academicians/researchers. The structure, rules and regulations of Administrative States in Asia have not much been considered, rather more focus on strategies and policy perspectives for Covid-19 have been given. Only a few Asian countries could be considered for the article for considerations of manageability.

“…To reduce epidemic growth and prevent rising death counts, governments worldwide, including in Southeast Asia, have implemented a mixture of social distancing measures, contact tracing and population-wide testing efforts [6]. In Viet Nam, whose early successes in controlling the epidemic are noteworthy [20], the early implementation of strict social distancing and lockdown of communities with outbreaks [21] has led to a plateau in reported incidence and subsequent easing of measures [20]. Manual contact tracing to identify and isolate cases has been used, for instance by Brunei [22] and Singapore [2]; both have repurposed other public servants such as the police to increase capacity.…”

Revealing regional disparities in the transmission potential of SARS-CoV-2 from interventions in Southeast Asia

et al. 2020

SARS-CoV-2 is a new pathogen responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Southeast Asia was the first region to be affected outside China, and although COVID-19 cases have been reported in all countries of Southeast Asia, both the policies and epidemic trajectories differ substantially, potentially due to marked differences in social distancing measures that have been implemented by governments in the region. This paper studies the across-country relationships between social distancing and each population’s response to policy, the subsequent effects of these responses to the transmissibility and epidemic trajectories of SARS-CoV-2. The analysis couples COVID-19 case counts with real-time mobility data across Southeast Asia to estimate the effects of host population response to social distancing policy and the subsequent effects on the transmissibility and epidemic trajectories of SARS-CoV-2. A novel inference strategy for the time-varying reproduction number is developed to allow explicit inference of the effects of social distancing on the transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 through a regression structure. This framework replicates the observed epidemic trajectories across most Southeast Asian countries, provides estimates of the effects of social distancing on the transmissibility of disease and can simulate epidemic histories conditional on changes in the degree of intervention scenarios and compliance within Southeast Asia.
