The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus forced some changes in the strategy to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in some Asian countries. Applying a systematic literature review and middle-range theory of several previous studies from journal articles in the Science Direct database, this qualitative study aims to do the mapping of the focus of Asian countries in resolving the COVID-19 pandemic through their efforts to achieve SDGs. The results of this research will give recommendations to the governments of Asian countries regarding the focus of SDGs.
