G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors are to hold a virtual meeting on Wednesday to discuss potential global actions against the Covid-19 pandemic.

In these poorer communities, numerous people live in close contact without adequate water, sanitation and health facilities. If the virus takes hold in these places, the potential outcome is too horrific to imagine.
