  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we investigate the role of governments in mitigating the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19. We also try to evaluate the fiscal and monetary policy interventions by governments and assess how such policies could be sustained. Taking Ghana as a sample, this study reveals that, the coordinated applications of monetary and fiscal policies are lifesaving, preventing loss of incomes and jobs, protecting bankruptcies in businesses, and finally enhancing economic recovery. We propose a CCCRD Model which could serve as a global strategy for governments in the fight against COVID-19. Backing such policies with legislation could help in their sustenance.
