Responses to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19

 

Cities around the world, in parallel with disaster response efforts, are trying to find ways to mitigate the impact on COVID 19 and associated lockdowns.

Summaries are provided of both economic responses by cities around the world, and South African support measures that have been announced, covering the three spheres of government, business, and civil society. Sites that are tracking support measures are also included.
