The global spread of novel coronavirus has increased with an increased restriction on movement and social distancing measures being implemented across Europe and America. The situation in Asia appears to be stabilizing but there is a strong chance of "wave 2" to hit the region in the form of "imported" cases. The economic impact of coronavirus has risen sharply with rising risk-aversion measures and deteriorating economic activities. A global recession is guaranteed due to the first-quarter shocks in China followed by shutting of economic activities in G7 nations. S&P global ratings have predicted that the current situation will result in a severe and more persistent supply and demand shocks across the globe.
