The year 2020 gave birth to a pandemic called COVID-19, which overshadowed all the existing problems faced by the world. It led to the suspension of social and economic activities in almost all countries. The reinstatement of all aspects of social and economic life depends on how effectively governments tackle this pandemic and protect their populations from getting infected [1].
The development plan adopted in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly, called the Sustainable Development Goals, aims for development that ensures healthy lives and promotes the well-being of people of all ages [2]. A fundamental assumption of the goals is that health is a significant contributor and beneficiary of sustainable development policies.1 The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted public health policies in developed and developing nations across the globe. Consequently, governments worldwide have devoted their public policies to fight the pandemic [3].
