reduction in the tax on ATF — especially the excise duty that is in the domain of the Union government to bring it on par with the tax rates applicable to UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) scheme routes. At present, the Centre levies 2% excise duty on ATF under the UDAN scheme, compared with 12% charged on other carriers.

This is an essential question. I consider the sector in focus is: HealthCare. This sector is under huge pressure all over the world in many places authorities struggle with limited resources. At the same time doctors, nurses and other healthcare professional are getting ill in many instances and crucial up-to-date knowledge on the virus on the field might get lost. I think the remedy is extensive investments into digital e-learning solutions and intensifying research helping supply chain disaster relief operations. A BrightTALK-summit on these topics could be a path toward the solution: On April 24 2020 there was already a summit on

I have conducted small research regarding this question. I performed a panic study in comparison to virus spread and its impact on the global economy, and I can tell you this, it's not looking good. The panic study shows that even after the virus is eliminated (if eliminated), people will have a hard time adjusting with the aftermath. Due to constant fear now, the same fear will affect them psychologically later while working and in mass gatherings or any place where there will be more human physical interaction.
Economically, this panic spread can produce very bad effects like decreased commodity production causing supply-chain disruptions and many more. Economic depression in certain countries is also a likely scenario. Think of this as an after-shock of an earth-quake, except in this case it will have a global impact. Now we ought to work on the padding so that when this after-shock hits it hurts less.
As such COVID19 will have a widespread impact on everything related to human being including social relationship. However, in terms of economy, it will have significant impact on hospitality, tourism, and manufacturing (especially, MSME).

As one Colleague mentioned, even after elimination of coronavirus, people would need some to go back to normal life and patterns of social interactions. Things will never be the same.
