COVID-19, Developing Countries Inefficient Lockdown Policies Vs Door To Door Vaccination Campaign, What Should Be The Future Move?

Editorial

Abstract

Since the start, COVID-19 has had a wave pattern, fluctuating from surge to nearly touching the base on the graph. Managing a pandemic that is highly contagious and viral in nature, SOPs, and vaccination were means of coping with such a pandemic. However, as vaccines had yet to be discovered when COVID-19 started, the only way to stop it was to impose a lockdown nationwide and practice strict SOPs to control the virus spread. Since day one, developing countries have been finding it hard to make their subjects comply with the lockdown protocols as declared by their governments. When countries started to decide to lockdown, the governments began imposing policies that mainly affected daily wagers and small businesses with no financial backup from the government. The lower- and middle-class people were made vulnerable to unemployment and economic instability, which led people to deny policies announced by the government because there was no adequate financial aid from the government, and people were finding it hard to earn bread.
