Description

Safeguarding lives while permitting essential services to operate has been the prime consideration of Governments and health services throughout the world in their drive to control the spread of the COVID-19, but at what cost to global, national and regional economies?

What impact, short, medium and long term, does the level of lockdown which has had to be enforced have on a country’s employment levels, GDP and, on specific sectors and regions?

When is the right time to try to reopen an economy and how? What needs to be prioritised?

Some answers to the above have been provided in a paper written by a team of experts from leading global consultancy McKinsey & Company, a trusted advisor to many of the world’s most influential businesses and institutions. Click HERE to read full article.
