Abstract

This article compares policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and their probable results in three countries: the Czech Republic, the Russian Federation, and the Slovak Republic. The article is based on a multiple case study method. It confirms that in the three countries studied, the timing of policy responses and the success in motivating compliance represent important critical factors in containing the pandemic. It discusses the innovative experiment with nationwide blanket testing in Slovakia and suggests that antigen testing should not be the single and independent policy tool to combat the pandemic.

对中欧和东欧COVID-19大流行和潜在结果的政策回应：捷克共和国，俄罗斯联邦和斯洛伐克共和国的比较

摘要

本文比较了对三个国家（捷克共和国，俄罗斯联邦和斯洛伐克共和国）对COVID-19大流行的政策回应及其可能的结果。本文基于多案例研究方法。它证实，在所研究的三个国家中，采取政策对策的时机以及成功推动遵约的行为是遏制大流行的重要关键因素。它讨论了在斯洛伐克进行的全国性覆盖试验的创新性实验，并提出抗原检测不应成为对抗大流行的单一且独立的政策工具。
