During the pandemic, several methods were done by governments and healthcare institutions to mitigate the spread of the virus.Methods: This study uses content analysis, specifically a literature review, on existing online literature found in online journals, books, and reports relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper presents the available qualitative data including substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological foundations relevant to the topic.Results: Culture, religion and the state have roles to play in ensuring public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. These three areas can help in mitigating the transmission of the virus, managing patients, and aiding the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines.Conclusion: This paper ends by suggesting that, in ensuring public health during the COVID-19 pandemic, a multidisciplinary approach, involving a concerted effort among culture, religion and the state, is necessary. This approach is also recommended for any public health crisis in the future.Keywords: COVID-19, multidisciplinary approach, culture, religion, state
