To slow the spread and mitigate the effects of COVID-19, countries all over the world have closed borders, curtailed travel and imposed quarantine and social isolation restrictions. These extensive measures at the national-level threaten the integrity of global supply chains carrying cross-border flows of food, fuel, medical supplies, raw materials and products needed for society to function and to support the health and well-being of all people. Without immediate and coordinated political actions to facilitate the cross-border movement of goods and key workers, significant delays and disruptions are likely to appear within a very short period of time.
