As the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread globally, with no
effective treatment or vaccine yet available, governments in many countries have
put in place social interventions to control the outbreak. The various lockdown
measures may have devastating impacts on economies and livelihoods. This approach
risks undermining public trust in government responses and therefore undermines
efforts to promote behaviour change, which is key to the success of social
interventions. Important lessons can be drawn from past Ebola outbreaks and the
human immunodeficiency virus pandemic on how communities should be central to
COVID-19 responses. Communities are complex and only their members can inform
public health experts about their lived realities, the community's understanding
of the outbreak and what will work locally to reduce transmission. The public
should be encouraged to take positive actions to ensure their own health and
well-being, rather than made to feel powerless. Communities should be supported
to develop their own response plans, community leaders should be recognised as
vital assets, community representatives should have equal inclusion in strategic
meetings and greater empathy should be built into decision-making processes.
