BANGKOK, Thailand — The global economy cannot afford more lockdowns and travel bans even if the COVID-19 pandemic still exists, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Thursday. Speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit here, the President underscored the need to reinforce global health systems against infectious diseases.“We must continue to reinforce global health systems not only against new and emerging variants of COVID, but also against other infectious diseases that may emerge,” he said.
“The global economy simply cannot afford another crippling series of lockdowns and travel bans that deflate consumer confidence, dampen the recovery of tourism, and derail the stability of global markets,” he added.
