“…The development of a major public health crisis can be divided into three stages: the ex-ante stage, the interim stage and the ex-post stage. 4 , 5 The ex-ante stage is a kind of advanced control of a major public health crisis. In the ex-ante stage, the purpose is not only to control the crisis within a certain range and prevent its spread, but also to study the causes of the crisis and prevent it at its roots.…”

Background:The focus of the study is to assess the defects of the public health functions of the Chinese government in the prevention and control of COVID-19 and to explore ways to improve the public health functions of the Chinese government. Methods: This study adopted a qualitative design. A logical framework based on the theoretical underpinning of public health functions of the government in the prevention and control of a major public health crisis was constructed. We compared the public health functions of the Chinese government and the effectiveness of these functions for COVID-19. Results: The defects of the public health functions of the Chinese government in the prevention and control of COVID-19 include a lack of crisis prediction, initiative and timeliness in crisis early warning functions; weak crisis security functions; and a lack of functions for handling the aftermath. The Chinese government should improve its crisis early warning functions, strengthen its crisis security functions, and establish functions for handling the aftermath. Conclusion:The defects of the public health functions of the Chinese government in the prevention and control of COVID-19 can provide referential value for other countries. Especially, by continuously improving the construction of standard pandemic early warning procedures and regulations, optimizing the pandemic treatment system, and strengthening the fairness and accessibility of medical services, countries with severe pandemic situations may be able to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on public health more efficiently.

“…The economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic have been far-reaching, too. Due to the speed and ease of the transmission of the virus, governments worldwide quickly implemented lockdownspreventing people from leaving their homes, limiting mass gathering, schools and work closures, grounding public transportation systemsin hope of curtailing the spread of the virus (Johnson & Roberto, 2020;Dafuleya, 2020;Hargreaves & Logie, 2020). However, lockdowns and restrictions on people's movements have meant two things generally: slowed economic activity, and, relatedly, mass unemployment (OECD, 2020).…”

In December 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic erupted in China and quickly spread worldwide. So far, the pandemic has created a twin challenge for governments; an enormous public health crisis and mounting economic decline. Governments to varying degrees have responded to the pandemic using both fiscal and monetary policies. The monetary policy responses from sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries have been piecemeal and incomprehensive. However, estimates suggest that SSA countries might experience the worst economic impacts of the pandemic. Even worse, the region has historically had low levels of social protection coverage. Over the years, calls to expand social protection coverage in the region have been met with resistance on the basis of a supposed lack of affordability. But can SSA countries afford not to expand social protection any longer? The aim of this paper, therefore, is to examine what the Covid-19 might tell us about social protection systems in Africa.

“…But unfortunately, all of this social security still represent the historical influence of the colonial era, where the focus was spotted on contribution-based social security outlines. Where only those who pay dues will get social security (Dafuleya, 2020). This of course makes other community groups (who do not participate in the social security program contributions) not have the certainty to get social security which may be needed in crises like this.…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze based on the principles of social and economic justice on how to grow prosperity during a recession in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic as it is today through the strategy of providing social security to affected communities. By involving literature review or normative research methods along with a qualitative approach and legislation, this study found that the law on the security system stipulates that social security includes six forms of social security, including health security, work accident security, old-age security, pension security, death security, and job loss security. it's just that the problem is for those who do not pay dues or participate in the government's social security program. Their welfare must also be considered as mandated by the constitution of the 1945 Constitution. And in the principle of socio-economic justice, social security must be prioritized for the poor and underprivileged who are felt to be in more social need to achieve equity and social welfare.
