The economic impact, chiefly through lower commodity prices, was being felt even before the first confirmed case was reported on March 10. The authorities' policy response to the pandemic has been firm, scaling up health care spending and putting in place measures to help contain and mitigate the spread of the disease. The pandemic is also dampening domestic revenue mobilization and putting significant pressures on foreign exchange reserves.
