Question

Following the steps of the crisis management process, how would you have handled the covid crisis if you were the governor of your state? Explain your rationale thoroughly be sure to include examples.

Answer 1

If I were the governor of my state, I would have handled the covid crisis by first restricting the movement of people to and from the state by imposing lockdown in the state and also encouraging people to stay home during the lockdown period. All essential services would be made available to them through online orders and nearby stores. Also I would have increased the number of tests being conducted in order to check the affected population and isolate them in a timely manner so that others are not affected. I would have enhanced the patient care facilities and encouraged doctors as well as nurses to help in patient treatment and also ensured the medicines and other heathcare supplies are available so that proper treatment is provided to the patients. I would have opened more number of isolation centres aa well in order to accomodate more people and contain the spread of virus.
