Government responses have been varying in timeliness, stringency, and results with outcomes being independent of regime type or political system but influenced by early action and the severity of containment strategies.

La pandemia del COVID-19 ha afectado duramente a las naciones de todos los continentes, destacando América como la región más afectada del mundo. Las respuestas de los gobiernos han variado en cuanto a oportunidad, rigor y resultados. Los impactos han sido independientes del tipo de régimen o sistema político, pero han estado influidos por las medidas tempranas y la severidad de las estrategias de contención.
