    The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to over 150 countries and become a global health and economic crisis. Experts warn that the pandemic will severely damage global GDP and economic growth over 2020. Countries have implemented widespread lockdowns and social distancing measures to contain the virus's spread, but it has translated into an economic crisis. The Philippines extended its partial lockdown of over 57 million people until April 30 to curb the pandemic, as over 1.3 million global cases and 75,000 deaths were confirmed.

    COVID-19 PANDEMIC; GLOBAL SICKNESS


    The outbreak of the new coronavirus, COVID-19, that began in Wuhan, China, may well
    turn into a global pandemic. More than 50 countries have confirmed cases of the virus, with the
    precise nature of the transmission mechanism remaining unclear.
    Harold James, (Professor of History and International Affairs ) said that, Pandemics are
    not just passing tragedies of sickness and death. The omnipresence of such mass-scale threats,
    and the uncertainty and fear that accompany them, lead to new behaviors and beliefs. People
    become both more suspicious and more credulous. Above all, they become less willing to engage
    with anything that seems foreign or strange.( World Economic Furom)
    The Corona virus pandemic is not just a medical crisis, but a social and economic one
    too, says ILO Director-General Guy Ryder. If our response is to be effective it must take into
    account all these factors, and be delivered in a co-ordinated, global way. In particular, it must
    answer the needs of the most vulnerable.( www.ilo.org)
    COVID-19 has officially been designated a pandemic by the World Health Organization
    (WHO). It has gone global with cases in over 150 countries. It is now poses a more serious
    downside risk to the global economy. As a result, several countries have taken a variety of
    measures from mass testing, travel/border restrictions, to lockdowns in a bid to contain the virus.
    Governments and central banks have likewise been adjusting the monetary and fiscal policy to
    mitigate the economic impact. This means that we are now in the second chapter of the crisis
    where the pandemic has translated into an economic crisis. ( http://www.neda.gov.ph/)
    Duffin (2020, April 03), stated that there is no way to tell exactly what the economic
    damage from the global COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic will be, there is widespread
    agreement among economists that it will have severe negative impacts on the global economy.
    Early estimates predicated that, should the virus become a global pandemic, most major
    economies will lose at least 2.4 percent of the value their gross domestic product (GDP) over
    2020, leading economists to already reduce their 2020 forecasts of global economic growth down
    from around 3.0 percent to 2.4 percent. To put this number in perspective, global GDP was
    estimated at around 86.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2019 – meaning that just a 0.4 percent drop in
    economic growth amounts to almost 3.5 trillion U.S. dollars in lost economic output. However,
    these predictions were made prior to COVID-19 becoming a global pandemic, and before the
    implementation of widespread restrictions on social contact to stop the spread of the virus. Since
    then, global stock markets have suffered dramatic falls due to the outbreak, and the Dow Jones
    reported its largest-ever single day fall of almost 3,000 points on March 16, 2020 – beating its
    previous record of 2,300 points that was set only four days earlier. (https://www.statista.com/)
    This only say that the global economic went slow because of the pandemic CoViD-19
    that vanished lives and opportunities to certain individuals and also with the countries’ economic
    status. This catastrophe builds boundaries against nations for protection to each and everyone.
    Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has extended until April 30 a partial lockdown of
    the country, affecting an estimated 57 million people in the northern island of Luzon, his cabinet
    secretary announced on Tuesday. The "enhanced community quarantine", which Duterte

    declared in mid-March to help contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus, was to end on
    Sunday, April 12. (aljazeera.com/news)
    More than 1.3 million people across the world have been confirmed to have the
    coronavirus and nearly 75,000 have died. At least 277,000 have recovered from the disease.
    (aljazeera.com/news)

    Provincial and town executives in the rest of the country have also implemented their
    own versions of the lockdown, putting virtually the entire country of more than millions under
    quarantine, with commercial aviation and shipping banned and land transportation under
    restrictions. Everyone is advised to stay at home that no one is allowed to stay and go outside
    without any essentials. Every health departments in every nation advising to their people to do
    the social distancing (1 meter away to every person), frequent hand washing and using protective
    mask. It is being recommended that it is better to stay at home to prevent the spread of the virus.
