| Summary: | The outbreak was declared a pandemic by
the WHO on March 11 and the epicenter of the crisis has
moved from China and Korea to the US and Western Europe.
Infections are also increasing at a rapid pace in WBG client
countries, with large uncertainty about the extent to which
many countries are affected due to the lack of testing. IDA
countries have limited resources and capacity to keep
infections low and provide proper care for those with
serious health problems due to COVID-19 infection as well as
to address related socio-economic distress. |
