Event Summary
With the current situation seemingly getting better, many countries are starting to ease mobility restrictions. Amidst the backdrop of a strong probability of a second wave, rising social unrest and crime rates, businesses are starting to prepare for their return to operations. But what does the new normal look like? The presenters provided practical and tactical advice on planning all aspects before & during implementation and making sure that standard procedures are being maintained. They also encouraged risk managers to accept that we will be living in the new normal and focus on the things we can do now, which is to mitigate the spread of the disease.
Some questions raised by the audience: Should we invest our hopes in certain medicines that promise to be effective against COVID-19? Is there any way to avoid the second wave?
