"Despite notable scientific and medical advances, broader political,
socioeconomic and behavioural factors continue to undercut the response to the
COVID-19 pandemic1,2. Here we convened, as part of this Delphi study, a
diverse, multidisciplinary panel of 386 academic, health, non-governmental
organization, government and other experts in COVID-19 response from 112
countries and territories to recommend specific actions to end this persistent
global threat to public health. The panel developed a set of 41 consensus
statements and 57 recommendations to governments, health systems, industry and
other key stakeholders across six domains: communication; health systems;
vaccination; prevention; treatment and care; and inequities. In the wake of
nearly three years of fragmented global and national responses, it is
instructive to note that three of the highest-ranked recommendations call for
the adoption of whole-of-society and whole-of-government approaches1, while
maintaining proven prevention measures using a vaccines-plus approach2 that
employs a range of public health and financial support measures to complement
vaccination. Other recommendations with at least 99% combined agreement advise
governments and other stakeholders to improve communication, rebuild public
trust and engage communities3 in the management of pandemic responses. The
findings of the study, which have been further endorsed by 184 organizations
globally, include points of unanimous agreement, as well as six recommendations
with >5% disagreement, that provide health and social policy actions to address
inadequacies in the pandemic response and help to bring this public health
threat to an end."
