Businesses value health measures over and above financial measures.

Business establishments we surveyed said that they needed tax waivers, low interest credit lines or credit guarantees. They also said they need temporary unemployment programs to help displaced workers.

However, when asked to choose from a list of health and financial measures, businesses value health measures more. This includes the supply of personal protective equipments (PPEs), information on the spread and transmission of the virus, and clarity on the measures to control the health crisis.
