Restarting Economies and COVID-19 Control: Letting Loose Without Letting Up

28 July 2020

 

Lockdowns have helped restrict COVID-19 transmission but at a terrible cost for business activity and people’s livelihoods. Policymakers need to know: How can we reopen our economies while keeping this disease in check?

This webinar discussed different non-pharmaceutical interventions countries have taken to contain COVID-19, and how these vary across countries and phases of the pandemic, and how effective different measures have been in controlling the spread of the disease. It also explored best practices in scaling up measures in testing, tracing, and isolation, as well as emerging lessons for public health systems over the medium and long term.

(Part 5 of the Asian Impact: ADB Research in Action webinar series)
