Unlike wealthier economies, developing countries cannot afford to spend trillions of dollars protecting people and businesses from the economic fallout of the pandemic. That has prompted some to start reopening key sectors. Getting mines back to full production will take weeks, said Jacques Nel, of research firm NKC African Economics. But opening them early is essential.

Malaysia has allowed its palm oil industry — the world’s second-biggest — to operate during a six-week lockdown. Its electronics industry, which produces nearly 8% of the world’s semiconductors, is running on a third of its normal workforce. Pakistan on Tuesday extended its lockdown by two weeks but said some industries, starting with construction, would reopen in phases.

They absolutely do not do it to safe guard jobs, they do it to safe guard loan payments this is such bs.
