COVID-19 is an emerging global health concern. It is rapidly spreading all over the world. The transmission of COVID-19 is faster as compared to the SARS-CoV infection, and this has created a global emergency-like situation. To overcome the situation, many countries had locked down the states and sealed the country's borders. This resulted in reduced transmission of COVID-19 infection but deteriorated the world's economy. The lockdown effect can be very well seen in various sectors like education, industries, food, tourism, health, and jobs. Poor production levels, lack of connectivity, lack of import and export facilities, break in school education, and overstretched healthcare facilities placed an economic burden on the countries. This economic burden pulled back many countries in the crisis that will require several years to normalise. To overcome the situation, governments must take precautionary majors by focusing on healthcare facilities and providing financial support to reopen small businesses and industries.
新冠病毒病是一个新出现的全球卫生问题。它正在全球迅速传播。与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒感染相比,新冠病毒病的传播速度更快,这造成了类似全球紧急情况的局面。为了克服这一局面,许多国家封锁了各州并关闭了国界。这导致新冠病毒病感染的传播减少,但使世界经济恶化。封锁的影响在教育、工业、食品、旅游、卫生和就业等各个领域都能明显看到。生产水平低下、缺乏连通性、缺乏进出口设施、学校教育中断以及医疗设施不堪重负给各国带来了经济负担。这种经济负担使许多国家陷入危机,需要数年时间才能恢复正常。为了克服这一局面,政府必须采取预防措施,重点关注医疗设施,并提供财政支持以重新开放小企业和工业。
