Coronaviruses around the world
Coronavirus and business
Strict COVID-19 blockade in Shanghai And other cities across China are dragging down the world’s second-largest economy, threatening key growth targets and causing international knock-on effects during times of global instability.
- Current measures, especially the blockade of Shanghai, home of the world’s busiest container port, are deteriorating the already weakening global economy. Authorities are working to keep port operations functioning normally, with some factories bunking workers on-site, but some companies, such as Apple and Tesla, have already suspended operations in Shanghai. It is unclear how long these measures will last.
- In most cases, despite rising economic costs, Beijing has shown no tendency to move away from a strict containment approach to COVID-19, making the country more and more internationally isolated and previously widespread such measures. Even the supporting population caused anger.
Also today: The travel sector has undergone a major recovery, with thousands of people booking summer trips. Experts are emphasizing plans for the coming months, as this type of demand will soon be equal to a shortage.
