Public health = economic health

WE are all familiar with the saying “Health is wealth”. Nowadays, it couldn’t ring any truer. The Covid-19 pandemic has confirmed this. We have witnessed how the disruption to public health has badly rattled the global economy. Even the most developed economies have not been spared from a virus which has yet to be tamed.

All are waiting for a vaccine. But the only “vaccine” available currently is physical distancing. It is the only option at our disposal to break the chain of infection.
