 COVID-19 is the most serious global health risus for a generation. And with contagion, uncertainty and lockdown, we are facing it from last two months, come economic dislocation and market turmoil. It has disrupted the global economy and thrown the future of billions into doubt.

The crisis is hitting the insurance industry more universally and faster than previous pandemics and it arises economic shocks.

Operational costs are rising due to crisis management while premium collection shrinks in many lines of business. New business in motor insurance is declining as people not able to drive vehicles due to lockdown and social distancing.

Investment returns are also under pressure due to volatility in financial markets.

 So, we must focus on stabilizing remote work with digital technologies and a strategic communication plan to maintain business continuity and protect the health of their employees and partners.

 Try to build a remote workforce culture that embraces data-driven insights. And enhance business continuity plans.

Ultimately, the insurance sector can serve as an important source of strength during the crisis and as a recovery mechanism for industries.
