Several European countries are preparing to loosen coronavirus restrictions by easing the lockdown in the coming week and thinking about how to reopen their economies which are confronting the highest downfall in decades.
Therefore, decisions on how and when to reopen will be vital to how people and businesses can cope with the pandemic, adjusting the requirement for economies to restart with the risks of new outbreaks and further shutdowns.
The global death toll from the coronavirus pandemic passed 200,000 on Sunday, with more than 2.9m confirmed cases, rising rapidly in many countries but slowing in others because of lockdowns.
