As due to its rapid spread to many countries, WHO declares the Covid to be a global pandemic. Many countries began to devise a mitigation plan to curb the spread, lowering the new cases found, and eventually, lowering the mortality rate. The purpose of this literature review is to analyze each countries mitigation plan for Covid-19, and how the Indonesian response in particular.

Method: the search for articles and journals will be conducted via web browsing, using the database such as Science direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The applied keywords will be the Prevention Spread of Covid-19 and Covid-19 management model. As many as 6 related articles are match with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Result: several countries applied the prevention model of Covid-19 virus spread. There are several countries which are successful in lowering down the spread of virus and there are also vice versa. Many factors make the results different in each country, such as the speed of the enactment of policies, lack of vigor in medical protocol enforcement to the citizen, or the lack of risk awareness by the people themselves.

Conclusion: the prevention measures in which are enacted by various countries are properly conducted, but the study shows that the effectiveness of all prevention measures can be traced back to the speed of the policy enactment, the force to enforce the medical protocol, limiting access to a certain region, and finally a massive screening for Covid diagnosis.
