How to Put People First As the Coronavirus Outbreak Grows >>The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has dominated headlines and captured public attention over the last several weeks. And with good reason: Thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths from the virus have been confirmed globally, according to the World Health Organization, which has declared the outbreak a public emergency of international concern.
Coronavirus Is Rupturing Global Supply Chains >>The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China will harm the world’s gross domestic product growth since China accounts for 15.4% of global products and services produced. Approximately 500 manufacturing facilities are located in Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, where quarantines are forcing plants to shut down or slow down. Many firms are issuing earnings warnings, and major banks are predicting that both China’s GDP growth and global GDP growth will slow in 2020, according to Michael Lierow, Partner; Cornelius Herzog, Principal; and Martin Zollneritsch, Senior Manager, at Guy Carpenter affiliate Oliver Wyman.
The Impact of the Coronavirus on Business >>: Pandemics top national risk-management frameworks in many countries.
