Exit Strategies for ASEAN Member States: Keeping Production Networks Alive Despite the Impending Demand Shock

Human life is of the utmost importance and must be prioritised over other issues. It is crucial to keep the pandemic curve within the capacity of healthcare systems – even if the immediate pain from social distancing is huge.
