With almost 600,000 Europeans infected with COVID-19, entire economies under lockdown, and borders in the EU’s coveted passport-free Schengen Area closed since mid-March, leaders in the EU institutions and national governments have spent the past several weeks in crisis mode to mitigate the socio-economic impacts of the crisis. 

Within a very short time-frame the need to effectively and forcefully respond to the seemingly ever-escalating crisis has led to political leaders, across the continent, putting in place previously unimaginable economic response measures to protect workers, businesses and economies.
