(6 years ago)There is still no citizen in Kosovo who has been confirmed with the new Coronavirus, Codavi-19. However, the Kosovo government took a series of precautionary measures last night. There are 11 precautionary measures that have been voted by the Government, including the interruption of the teaching process until March 27, the temporary suspension of [the] lines....
There are 11 precautionary measures which have been voted by the Government, where there is the interruption of the teaching process by March 27th, the temporary suspension of air and ground travel lines; Compulsory control of travelers from QKMF medical teams in all Kosovo exits with police support; forced self-curantation for all citizens entering Kosovo from high- and medium-risk epidemic zones; Public and non-public activities can be held closed without public presence; The activity of restaurants, nightclubs, gyms, pools after 11:00.
Although similar precautions have been taken in other countries, with the touch and death of Coronavirus, it is not known whether the government's decision is based on some preliminary analysis. Moreover, it is believed that many citizens can suffer economically from these measures.
And that's why Periscop has contacted the chairman of the Kosovo Economic Ode [Kosovo] OEK, Berat Rukiq.
Rukiqi, who said this virus will have consequences for the country's economy, but who, according to him, determine the extent of the damage may be the length and principle of damage done so far.
Moreover, the OEK leader said the biggest impact would be on export and foreign investment.
I've been looking for another few days to draw up a plan of preventatives and reactions that is needed, even in the short-term measures needed to address the long-term economic consequences. Now we're all in the preventative [prevention] phase that Kosovo even in the past crises has been/or hasn't been quite consistent, I don't expect economic disaster in Kosovo, what I expect is that there may be impacts on certain categories, such as exports, then foreign investments, which can get behind a kind of slowdown, but I say that the virus will have consequences in the economy, the scale of the consequences will depend on the extent of the damage that has now been caused for the <111x> Ruccus told Perispic.
We remember that most world economists have claimed that especially small businesses will be damaged by Coronavirus because of the failure to take essentials as a result of halting production. /Periscope
