In order to limit the spread of COVID-19, states have gradually implemented restrictions mandating school and kindergarten closures, postponing academic semesters and prohibiting visits to nursing homes to protect the elderly, borders were closed, states prohibited physical contact with more than one person from outside one's household, and other restrictions. This paper examines the economic effects of policies to contain Covid-19 in Baltic States by comparing they with experience of Sweden and Belarus where approach was less stringent and based more on social responsibility than legal obligations compared to the other European states
