Abstract
In this chapter we investigate the influence of culture on the effective management of the COVID-19 crisis. In order to study culture we first describe cultures in terms of values. These values are connected to the needs of the agents, giving them a certain default priority, which differs across cultures. Then we will show how culture actually influences how people react to certain types of measurements and the effect this has on the effective management of the COVID-19 crisis.
