From the temple murals in Bagan to the church fresco in Europe, visualization has been a vehicle of managing public health since time immemorial and it has a vital place in the governance of the current pandemic too. As importantly, governance is a field of actions, practices and activities, of which visualization constitutes a significant part, carried out by state and non-state actors, health professionals and lay persons, with the aim to directly or indirectly improve the management of pandemic.
In other words, the governance of covid-19 is not monopolized by state actors and health professionals. Community and civil society too play as significant a part.
Meanwhile, the general public are not merely targets of governance. As indicated in many parts of the world in the current pandemic, the general public are also actors who actively participate in governing and overseeing the conduct of their counterparts.
