investigators to obtain clarification directly from the manufacturers of
the device as to what the reading means. (...) It
is unknown whether it underwent routine calibrations, as recommended in the
manufacturer’s manual. It is unknown which mode it was in when it was used;
auto or manual. (...) A representative of the breathalyzer manufacturer
confirmed that this measurement was equivalent to a blood alcohol content of

The pandemic affected manufacturing by disrupting global value chains and restricting the movement of people and goods, resulting in a significant drop of 8.4 per cent in manufacturing production in 2020. (...) The same trend was visible in manufacturing industries after 2010, with global manufacturing intensity falling at an average annual rate of 3 per cent until 2017.
(...) The global share of manufacturing value added in GDP increased from 15.2 per cent in 2005 to 16.3 per cent in 2017, driven by the fast growth of manufacturing in Asia.

As the pandemic continues to spread and partial or total lockdowns are introduced, manufacturing activities are slowing down around the world, with many economies experiencing a severe contraction of their manufacturing sectors in March (Figure 3).
Manufacturing has been the key driver of rising living stand- ards in East Asian economies. (...) A prolonged economic crisis— reducing global demand for manufacturing, especially for durable goods—could destroy millions of manufacturing jobs worldwide, particularly in manufacturing-dependent economies, and stall or reverse the process of reducing inequality within and between countries.

UN/DESA Policy Brief #71: COVID-19 pandemic deals a huge blow to the manufacturing exports from LDCs
Document Summary:
The COVID-19 pandemic is yet to directly hit the least developed countries (LDCs), although most are already experiencing severe economic pain amid shutdowns, falling commodity prices and declining exports. (...) Only six LDCs—Bangladesh, Cambodia, Haiti, the Gambia, Nepal and Lesotho—receive more than 50 per cent of their export revenue from exporting manufactured goods (Figure 1). Manufacturing accounts for more than 95 per cent of Bangladesh’s exports, compared to an average of less than 30 per cent for all LDCs, and 75 per cent for the Asian tiger economies. These six non-commodity dependent LDCs, however, largely rely on low-end and mostly labour intensive manufacturing exports, compared to higher value added and skill-intensive exports from the Asian tiger economies.

A number of African LDCs—Ethiopia, Senegal and Rwanda—are at the cusp of this transformation with their manufacturing exports taking off in recent years.
The COVID-19 pandemic presents a high risk to the nascent manufacturing sectors of these LDCs. (...) Poverty will increase, sharply
Manufacturing led export growth allowed rapid expansion of formal employment in these economies. (...) Manufacturing accounted for over 40 per cent of all employment in Lesotho (Figure 5).
