PUBLIC HEALTH AND BIOPOLITICS STRATEGY UNDER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Abstract
The purpose of the presented study is the complex analysis of competence and sufficiency of public safety measures implemented by the authorities in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. The article reveals the need for governmental involvement in solving the issues of essential services and maintaining public healthcare. The article also integrated the results of studies of governmental approaches to the development of compensatory policies in different countries while considering the population as a specific object of national biopolitics. A comparative description of examples of national biopolitics as a reaction to the development of an epidemiological threat (cholera, smallpox, Ebola, coronavirus) is presented. A comprehensive strategic approach to developing state biopolitics is recommended, which includes a system of necessary measures, analyzes factors and threats affecting the mechanism of biological security, and summarizes international experience in preventing the spread of dangerous infectious diseases. The conclusion is drawn about the necessity of phased implementation of a complex of proactive preventive measures capable of ensuring the protection of the interests of all participants in the process of socio-economic development of society and the state.
