Since March 11, 2020 Covid-19 has been stating as a global pandemics status by World Health Organization (WHO).  How do people respond to advice on how to prevent transmission is as relevant as governing (Anderson, Heesterbeek, Klinkenberg, & Hollingsworth, 2020). Most countries attempt to preserve or improve their national capacity to plan, primarily due to lack of capital, conflicting national agendas and high health workers turnover (Kandel, Chungong, Omaar, & Xing, 2020). In an ideal world, governments should respond to policy problems that occur within their operating environments in a proportionate and targeted way (Peters, Jordan, & Tosun, 2017). However, the daily experience of government is also very different, in the area of Covid-19 policy, the range of responses is often very broad and views vary as to whether they are appropriate answers (Maor, 2012; Maor, Tosun, & Jordan, 2017).  Why do governments, both as a whole and at the level of individual country, often find it difficult to respond?
