Abstract
procedures, and welfare provisions such as fair living conditions and medical insurance coverage to the socially neglected and disadvantaged, is crucial to curb the spread of the virus. If the government can properly address these social issues, this would help minimize current infections and also prevent any subsequent advancement into a humanitarian crisis, thereby resulting in both short-run and long-run benefits to the country.
