“…The virus is spreading very quickly and efficiently so that many regions are increasing intensive care beds, revolutionizing entire hospital wards. Our healthcare professionals are facing disease pulling 12-h shifts in critical situations and this phenomenon is leading to serious psychological distress in this population here ( Anmella et al, 2020 ; Barello et al, 2020 ; De Giorgio, 2020 ; ISS, 2020 ; Ramaci et al, 2020a ) as well as in other countries ( Bohlken et al, 2020 ; Heath et al, 2020 ; Ornell et al, 2020 ; Tsamakis et al, 2020 ).…”

On December 31, 2019, the Chinese authorities announced that in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, central-eastern China, a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown etiology had developed. A new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes serious problems like pneumonia and even death, has been discovered. This new disease (COVID-19) has spread also in Italy starting from the first recognized case on February 20. Beyond its biological implications, this coronavirus allows us many psychological reflections. A new virus is indeed a potentially serious problem for mankind, but it can also be an opportunity to bring the focus back to us, to observe what is happening, who we are and how we are reacting both as individuals and as a population. Even positive implication of this pandemic was discussed.

“…In Sweden, containment and mitigation measures in COVID-19 transmission control were self-isolation, movement restriction/travel, partial lockdown and prohibition of mass gathering (Christina & Hendrik, 2020). In Norway, Austria, Belgium and Italy, containment and mitigation measures announced included self-isolation, social distance, movement restriction/travel, partial lockdown and prohibition of mass gathering (Nikel, 2020;Neghaiwi, 2020;Federal Government, 2020;Brzozowski, 2020;De Giorgio, 2020). However, Norway and Italy governments added an extra control measure, namely screening (Nikel, 2020;De Giorgio, 2020) (Table 1).…”

The epidemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) in China and a number of countries had led to the Covid-19 pandemic declaration by WHO. The aim of this study is to assess the evidence and to report the effectiveness of Covid-19 containment and mitigation measures among the affected countries. A comprehensive search strategy was performed using the MESH terms of “Novel coronavirus,” “Novel coronavirus 2019”, “2019 nCoV”, “Covid-19”, “Wuhan coronavirus”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “Containment”, “Mitigation” and “Control”. After completion of the initial screening, 922 articles were excluded for the following reasons: the article did not meet the inclusion criteria (N = 862), the article was a duplicate (N = 60). The remaining 72 articles were screened at the full-text level. After full review for relevancy, 41 articles were excluded and a total of 31 articles were selected for scoping review. The two most successful countries that managed to control this pandemic were Hong Kong and South Korea. While, the United States of America (USA) and Brazil are the countries yet unable to significantly reduce the Covid-19 cases. The aggressiveness of government efforts and the compliance among the population are the main factors contributing to the effectiveness of the containment and mitigation measures implemented.

The COVID-19 spread very quickly worldwide, which has resulted in a global pandemic. All countries in the world have taken measures for the purpose of preventing and controlling the epidemic. China for example, has control the spread effectively, while the Unite States, Brazil and India are still striving to cope with the increasing COVID-19 confirmed cases. The epidemic has impacted the whole world, also revealing quite a lot problems of urban health governance in different countries. This commentary reviews the pandemic response measures in selected countries such as China, Italy, America, Brail and India. On the basis of critical reflection on the problems incurred in each country's pandemic response, we further provide a theoretical framework to reconceptualise public health as multiple types of economic goods. We couple this reconceptualisation with the systems approach to urban health and wellbeing to offer new thinking on the governance of public health. Finally, we propose suggestions for better, preventative and comprehensive epidemic prevention and public health governance.
