The most effective strategies that any society has while fighting against confronting the pandemic Covid-19 is affecting not just health but also economics, politics, and social order while fighting against its spread. The main intervention strategies in preventing the spread in any society are hand hygiene, wearing masks, social distancing and quarantine. The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of strategies and actions aim to sustain the implementation and change of a public behavior intended for facing long-term pandemics or crises. A review-research was done between August and December 2020 on some papers considering the topic of sustainability of strategies, sustainable public health actions and strategies used to face the Covid-19 and similar pandemics in various countries. This study presents the necessity to focus on strategies sustainability especially in pandemic circumstances like Covid-19. The sustainability in implementing large public health strategies is categorized by primary flexibility and vitality. The foremost intervention strategies applied to influence the community in the target of daily activities were to use enhancement guidelines, interactive educating courses, monitoring and evaluations, and dynamic involvement of stakeholders that may sustain these strategies for longer periods. Public health intervention strategies comprise different approaches depending on types of actors, shifts in the pandemic situation, contextual aspects, progress over time, and the ability for sustainability. It is necessary to guarantee that public health strategies are effectively embedded in their settings, depending on more evidence-based approaches and understanding how valuable interventions can be sustainable.
