27. 刘振民先生(主管经济和社会事务副秘书长)说，冠状病毒病的影响和为减轻其影响而采取的措施已经使世界各地的卫生系统不堪重负，多达 90%的学生失学，并导致企业和工厂关闭。该大流行病扰乱了全球价值链和产品供应。有数百万人失业。预计在 2020年，这场大流行病将使 7 000 多万人重新陷入极端贫困，并导致另外 1.32 亿人营养不足。世界上最贫穷和最脆弱的人遭受的痛苦最大，性别不平等正在加深。
27. Mr. Liu Zhenmin (Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs) said that the effects of COVID-19 and the measures taken to mitigate its impact had overwhelmed health systems around the world, kept up to 90 per cent of students out of school and caused businesses and factories to shut down. It had disrupted global value chains and the supply of products. Millions of jobs had been lost. It was expected that the pandemic would push more than 70 million people back into extreme poverty in 2020 and cause 132 million more to suffer from undernourishment. The world’s poorest and most vulnerable people were suffering the most and gender inequality was deepening.
