The performance of leaders of different countries can be decisive to tacke a pandemic, such as that of Covid-19. According to their postures, interviews and speeches, there are different ways of facing the health crisis and its consequences in each affected territory. In order to demonstrate how this has been happening more effectively, this article intends to analyse postures, interviews and speeches of presidents and prime ministers or chancellors. To make possible an analysis in detail observing how some heads of government influence their nations, we have chosen Jacinda Ardern, from New Zealand; Jair Bolsonaro, from Brazil; Angela Merkel, from Germany; and Donald Trump, from the United States. The analysis focuses on a specific period at the beginning of the pandemic, taking into account the months from January to April 2020.
