The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is one of the challenges
the world is facing right now. It has seen an unparalleled spread
within a short span of time, and claimed victims in many parts of
the world. As the number of confirmed cases skyrockets
exponentially, a recent surge of 'bad' behaviours such as
xenophobia attacks, propagation of misinformation, and panic-buying
of essential items have become increasingly commonplace. Panic and
chaos reigned as the world witnessed unprecedented moves by
countries to close their borders and implement strict quarantine
orders in a desperate attempt to mitigate the spread of the
coronavirus.COVID-19 has impacted many different aspects of
society, from politics and economics to the psychological
well-being of citizens, and the list will continue to grow as the
spread of the coronavirus persist. While it is impossible to fathom
the way COVID-19 will change our usual way of life, there are
prevailing concerns that the community currently faces. What are
the psychological impacts of a pandemic? How do we enhance the
collective resilience of the community during a pandemic? How do we
cope with mental health issues during a pandemic? How do we deal
with bereavement during a pandemic? How can we support healthcare
workers and emergency responders during a pandemic?These are just
some of many important concerns that influence the way we cope with
the COVID-19 outbreak. There is therefore an urgent need to enhance
our understanding and level of preparedness against Covid-19 and
pandemic in general. To that end, this edited book, How to Prepare
for the Next Pandemic: Behavioural Sciences Insights for
Practitioners and Policymakers aims to examine the impacts pandemic
have on our society from a behavioural sciences perspective, and to
identify solutions that practitioners and policymakers can adopt to
combat the spread of COVID-19 in this new operating environment.
