Abstract
This policy brief explores the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in tragic loss of life and health, along with the economic and social hardship of people in South Africa. The science around pandemic risk and effective recovery mechanisms after a pandemic have not been utilised effectively to inform responses. There is therefore a need to strengthen response, recovery and disaster risk governance, using available evidence. When the loss of livelihoods, employment and income are factored in, it could well be that more people have been affected by this single disaster than by any other in human history.-
