Developed countries urged to assist vulnerable nations combat coronavirus via SABCNewsOnline

warned that the world is facing a global health crisis unlike any in the 75-year history of the organisation, infecting the global economy and upending people’s lives.

“Our teams in Africa are working very hard with the government to support them, but my very strong appeal to the G20 is to have a particular concern with African countries and other countries in the developing world. We must absolutely be strong in supporting them because the virus is coming to them and their health systems are extremely weak – so they need very strong support from the developed world and if that support is denied, we will have catastrophic consequences.

The Secretary-General believes the current responses at country level will not address the global scale and complexity of the crisis, quoting the International Labour Organisation that workers around the world could lose as much as 3.4-trillion dollars in income by the end of 2020. Guterres welcomes the convening of an emergency G20 summit next week, striking a tone of optimism that done right, they could steer the recovery towards a more sustainable and inclusive path, arguing that two priorities were key: first tackling the health emergency by up-scaling health spending for testing, facilities and protecting healthcare workers and then focusing on the social impact and economic response and recovery.
