Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the strategies adopted by the UnitedKingdom, Italy, China, India, and Saudi Arabia to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials and Methods: A review of the literature was carried out to collect data on thestrategies used by China, Italy, India, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia to contain thespread of the COVID-19 virus. The global analysis of 65 published literature referencesallowed observing the effectiveness and efficiency of the strategies used by these countries tocontrol the spread of the COVID-19 virus.Results: Both mitigation and suppression strategies were adopted by the United Kingdom,India, Italy, China, and Saudi Arabia to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. It wasobserved that China has achieved a greater success in flattening the curve compared to theother countries. In China, few new daily cases have occurred since March, and it has been theonly country that has managed to keep the COVID-19 pandemic under control. On the otherhand, reductions in the number of daily cases (since May 2020) were detected in the UnitedKingdom, Italy, and Saudi Arabia (since July 2020). Also, during the last 3 months (June,July and August) India has shown the highest growth in the total number of confirmed casesand in the number of new daily cases, compared to the mentioned countries.Conclusion: The review of the strategies adopted by China, India, the United Kingdom,Italy and Saudi Arabia to combat the COVID-19 pandemic can guide countries in the designand development of mitigation and suppression approaches to control the spread of theCOVID-19 virus. Containment strategies such as lockdowns cannot continue in the longterm. Therefore, countries must adopt mitigation and prevention strategies to protect peoplefrom infection and learn to live with the virus.
