“…Similarly, WHO indicated that outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, particularly if indoor spaces are small and without outdoor air coming in 6 . Our result is similar to Chisadza, Clance [32] findings, which indicated that the strictest government response measures are associated with more COVID-19 deaths.…”

“…One strand of the literature suggests that the government policy response measures have effectively reduced the number of COVID-19 cases [20] . Contrarily, others argue that strict government response measures could increase the number of COVID-19 cases and death because of the severe economic implications of the measures [ 18 , 32 ]. The empirical findings on the impact of the government policy response on the spread of the COVID have been contradictory.…”

“…The study further highlighted that rapid border closures, full lockdowns, and widespread testing were not associated with COVID-19 mortality per million people. Chisadza, Clance [32] examined the effect of government response, economic support, and health containment on the number of COVID-19 deaths for 144 countries between March to September 2020. The results indicated that government response, economic support and health containment significantly increased the number of COVID-19 deaths.…”

“…Robust evidence now shows that, under most conditions, early adoption of stringent NPIs is associated with a reduction in transmission [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. However, with full vaccination still elusive, and with the possibility of vaccine-escaping variants emerging, NPIs can be expected to continue playing a significant role in managing the pandemic in the foreseeable future [28][29][30][31].…”

Government responses and COVID-19 deaths: Global evidence across multiple pandemic waves

et al. 2021

We provide an assessment of the impact of government closure and containment measures on deaths from COVID-19 across sequential waves of the COVID-19 pandemic globally. Daily data was collected on a range of containment and closure policies for 186 countries from January 1, 2020 until March 11th, 2021. These data were combined into an aggregate stringency index (SI) score for each country on each day (range: 0–100). Countries were divided into successive waves via a mathematical algorithm to identify peaks and troughs of disease. Within our period of analysis, 63 countries experienced at least one wave, 40 countries experienced two waves, and 10 countries saw three waves, as defined by our approach. Within each wave, regression was used to assess the relationship between the strength of government stringency and subsequent deaths related to COVID-19 with a number of controls for time and country-specific demographic, health system, and economic characteristics. Across the full period of our analysis and 113 countries, an increase of 10 points on the SI was linked to 6 percentage points (P < 0.001, 95% CI = [5%, 7%]) lower average daily deaths. In the first wave, in countries that ultimately experiences 3 waves of the pandemic to date, ten additional points on the SI resulted in lower average daily deaths by 21 percentage points (P < .001, 95% CI = [8%, 16%]). This effect was sustained in the third wave with reductions in deaths of 28 percentage points (P < .001, 95% CI = [13%, 21%]). Moreover, interaction effects show that government policies were effective in reducing deaths in all waves in all groups of countries. These findings highlight the enduring importance of non-pharmaceutical responses to COVID-19 over time.

“…The study emphasizes the need to reboot the state policy in the field of regional development management. Chisadza et al (2021) discuss the effectiveness of public administration during the pandemic and assess the efficiency of the tools for limiting the spread of the disease in different countries and regions. It was found that the correlation between the severity of anti-COVID measures and the decrease in the incidence rate is not al-динамика уровня безработицы и доходов населения в разрезе федеральных округов и регионов Российской Федерации.…”

Relevance. The spread of the coronavirus infection and the ensuing economic restrictions significantly influenced the main parameters of the socio-economic development of Russia and its territories, affecting the growth rate, production structure, territorial differentiation and competitiveness of Russian regions. Purpose of the study. The key goal of the study was to identify the socio-economic changes in the development of the country and its regions during the pandemic. Data and Methods. The analysis relies on open data on the socio-economic development of Russian regions for 2019–2021 (monthly, quarterly and annual periods), posted on the official website of Rosstat. Methodologically, the study is based on the comparative analysis of the data for the federal districts and their regions. Results. The study describes the main trends in the development of industry, trade, paid services, and investment potential and in the dynamics of unemployment and income in federal districts and regions. The first wave hit Russian regions the hardest due to the rigorous restrictions. Although no sharp recession was detected during the second wave, the stagnation in the key sectors persisted. The third wave is expected to have the same impact as the second. Conclusions. After the second wave subsided, there was a revival of economic activity in the spring of 2021. However, this has not turned into a steady trend yet. The coronavirus pandemic affected the competitiveness of regions. The importance of certain factors (including those related to resource potential) decreased during the pandemic, while the role of the competitive position of regions in the distribution of federal budget transfers increased.
