In order to fight the disease, governments have been taking similar steps. On the one hand, they tried to slow down the spread of the virus by a set of restrictions like physical distancing, bans on public gatherings including demonstrations, requirements to wear face masks in public home office prescriptions, shutdowns affecting large parts of the economy as well as museums, theatres and other cultural institutions, travel bans, school closings, and curfews. On the other hand, governments have issued huge rescue packages for affected sectors of the economy and wage compensation schemes for employees, self-employed persons, and freelancers who lost jobs during the crisis, Additionally, a number of governments engaged in the development of vaccines and in vaccination campaigns, usually based on priotity lists for immunications." —Preface Contents: Parliaments in the COVID-19 pandemic: Involved adequately or bypassed by the executive? — Legally strong executive branches, but it's more about democracy and politics: The case of Australia — Silences and other sounds: The Indian parliament in the pandemic — Indonesian parliament's slumber during pandemic — Please stay at home: Japan's soft approach in combatting COVID-19 — The national assembly in the pandemic: A temporary ally of the government to combat a stealthy virus — Parliament and pandemic: Political, economic and health challenges in Mongolia Munkhtsetseg Tserenjamis — New Zealand's legal response to COVID-19: The challenge of executive overreach, continuity of parliamentary control? — The shifting power dynamics between the Philippine congress and the president in the time of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic — Taiwan's success - A hard-won battle — About the authors.
