Health or wealth? Nations pressured to loosen virus rules

MADRID (AP) — As the coronavirus pandemic throws millions out of work and devastates economies worldwide, governments are struggling with the dilemma between keeping people safe from a highly contagious virus and making sure they can still make a living. Workers in some nonessential industries are to return to work in Spain, one of the hardest hit countries in the coronavirus pandemic. But in South Korea, officials warn that hard-earned progress fighting the virus could be eroded by new infections as restrictions ease. The decisions are more complicated because each nation is on its own coronavirus arc, with places like Britain, Japan and parts of the United States still seeing increasing deaths or infections.
