    Widespread failures at multiple levels worldwide have led to millions of preventable deaths and setbacks in sustainable development progress due to COVID-19. Most governments were ill-prepared to adequately respond to SARS-CoV-2, were too slow to respond, paid little attention to vulnerable groups, and were hampered by low public trust and misinformation. The Lancet COVID-19 Commission makes recommendations in three key areas: practical steps to control the current pandemic through vaccination strategies and investigating origins; ambitious proposals to enhance multilateralism by maintaining WHO as the lead institution and establishing a global pandemic agreement; and necessary investments to strengthen health systems and prepare for future pandemics.
