Abstract As COVID-19 spreads around the world, global financial markets are volatile. Faced with the severe situation of the rapid spread of the epidemic overseas, many countries have taken active prevention and control measures. Internally, limit or prohibit group activities to reduce the risk of crowd gathering; externally, border control, and strict travel restrictions are in place. But the most common accept solution advocated by many countries is to lockdown the cities to prevent further infection. This caused a high unemployment rate and has widened existing divides between professionals, low-paid workers, people of different races, and the young.

Based on the findings, some practical implications are offered for both consumers and policymakers. [More...]
