Summary/Abstract: This article conducts a comparative analysis of health policies during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Michigan, USA, and Romania, EU, focusing on the critical period of 2020-2021. It evaluates the effectiveness of various strategies, highlighting the implementation of nonpharmaceutical measures, vaccination campaigns, digital health transformations, and contact tracing initiatives. The study contrasts Michigan's relatively flexible approach to lockdowns with Romania's stricter measures, particularly in addressing minority group needs. The research reveals similarities in core health policies between the US and EU, but also notes region-specific differences.
