Abstract
The global pandemic has forced governments across the world to rethink how public policy should be formulated. COVID-19 hit the world in a spectacular fashion, forcing governments to create public policy solutions quickly. As has been well documented in the global media, civil servants, policymakers and politicians had to make tough decisions that have had an impact on people’s daily lives. Lockdown measures were common in 2020 and 2021; in some political quarters, lockdown measures were seen to be too stringent, raising questions as to whether people really live in a democratic society. The authors of this paper will provide a critical narrative on health policy responses to COVID-19 in the United Kingdom and India geographical context.
