DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has led to countries implementing prevention measures such as Large-scale quarantines, travel restrictions, and social-distancing.

Britain unveiled a £330 billion (about $382 billion) stimulus package, and the US has committed $1 trillion, in addition to $50 billion in financial aid to states, cities and territories.
