SINGAPORE - The coronavirus pandemic will hit the most vulnerable in society and disadvantage the countries already lagging behind, Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said on Monday evening.

At the same time, Covid-19 will have brought about a greater recognition of the plight of the vulnerable across societies, he added."There'll be greater recognition and a greater desire to uplift the lives of those who are disadvantaged." "And there's a risk that that rise in female labour force participation that we saw over many years will now go through some reversal, particularly among those at the lower end of the income ladder," he said.
