PETALING JAYA: It is important for some countries to open their borders to support trade and recovery, although the shape and nature of recovery among the individual Asean members remain uncertain and can vary by country, senior fellow at Yusof Ishak Institute (ISEAS) in Singapore Dr Jayant Menon told a webinar.

Dividing Asean’s Covid-19 pandemic management into three groups, he said the Philippines and Indonesia were still struggling to control its spread, Malaysia and Myanmar had managed to control it only to face a new wave and there were those who have things under control.
