This paper examines how the lessons of previous epidemics helped successful countries fight COVID-19. Covid-19 caught the West by surprise, but the legacy of Ebola, MERS, and SARS meant that several Asian and African nations had systems in place to mitigate the severity of the pandemic.

In this paper, experts explain what Hong Kong, Liberia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Taiwan learnt and how they have made a difference.
