Abstract
The Covid-19 Pandemic has adversely impacted the world economy, including those of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The border closures, lockdowns and social distancing have, to a varying degree, affected economic activities negatively. These include, among others, the loss of lives, jobs, outputs and national incomes. But how and when to begin to maintain some levels of economic activities amidst increasing infection rate, death rate, and hospitalization rate is a major issue of disagreement between health experts, political leaders and economists. In this article, therefore, we shall attempt to illustrate a pathway towards the reopening of economic activities in a corona virus economy or community, following a graphic explanation of the virus infection rate over a period of time which resembles the English small letter 'n'.
