The top priority is, of course, to beat the virus, or at least slow down its momentum of infections. G20 members should thus focus on how they can improve their collective prevention and control coordination, and support such international organizations as the World Health Organization in playing their unique guiding roles so that chains of cross-border transmissions are cut off, and new sources of infections are nipped in the bud.
They should also champion the global cause by researching and developing effective treatments and vaccines, and ensure that those life-saving tools in the coronavirus response are made universally available as global public goods, and as quickly as possible.
Facing the deadly virus, no one will ever be truly safe until everyone is safe. G20 members should continue helping developing and least developed countries, notably those in Africa and small island states, build up their health systems and capacities in coping with the coronavirus challenge.
Compared to the fight against the deadly pathogen, the battle to forestall the arrival of what many believe will be the most serious global recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s is even more arduous.
To jumpstart global economic recovery in the post-pandemic world, the G20 should first jointly stabilize the hard-hit global trade and supply chains through enhanced international cooperation. This is also vital to the final victory over the deadly disease.
