On March 11, 2020, the novel coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) was declared a pandemic of global magnitude.
Since then, nations have instituted response measures to curtail
the rapid spread and propagation of the virus. This Letter to the
Editor provides a brief assessment of the measures and
challenges facing The Gambia’s COVID-19 response and
suggests some policy and practical recommendations that can
be used by policymakers and implementers to address the
COVID-19 situation in The Gambia. It is based on a narrative
review of existing literature on the COVID-19 response in The
Gambia, as well as on the authors’ opinion as researchers
supporting the COVID-19 response efforts in The Gambia.
