Government tend to have little ability to manage resources. Kings often had little power.

Governments tried to restrict gatherings, including funerals in order to prevent contamination. They also tried to minimized the use of church bells, prohibited wearing black by mourners, required graves to be 6 feet deep. These restrictions put the City Council into conflict with local Clergy quarreled when the council forbid religious procession.

As the plague continued, the Government hired Guards, Corpse Carries, Gravediggers, Street Cleaners, Executioners, and public health personal. These included Physicians, Surgeons, and Nurses.
