![Coronavirus: An uncertain outlook [What Think Tanks are thinking]](https://i0.wp.com/epthinktank.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/eprs_brie_tt_651984_coronavirus_uncertain_outlook_final.jpeg?fit=1024%2C575&ssl=1)
Written by Marcin Grajewski,
While many countries, notably in Europe, are currently easing restrictive measures aimed at containing the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19), the latter is now rapidly spreading in other parts of the world, notably in the Americas and Indian sub-continent. The number of people globally who have tested positive for the disease is now approaching 10 million, exacerbating an already precarious situation in certain conflict-afflicted areas, such as Yemen. In Europe, analysts continue to examine the various ways of financing and promoting economic recovery from the depressive effects of the pandemic.
This note offers links to recent commentaries and reports from international think tanks on coronavirus and related issues. Earlier publications on the topic can be found in the previous item in this series, published by EPRS on 12 June.
