SOLOMON ISLANDS GOVERNMENT ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE TO ADDRESS THE IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The covid-19 virus that started in China in December 2019 has become a global Pandemic with currently 3.5 million reported cases of infections and over 245,000 deaths worldwide.

The impact of the pandemic is being felt across the world, through the pacific region and in the Solomon Islands. It is expected that the situation will get worse in the months ahead before we see any improvements.
