Pandemic virus will disappearing however the impact to economy will remain and recovery will take time.

heres a example of bad senario from robobank in the netherlands

The question is whether the current epidemic can leave a permanent mark on the Chinese economy or, if it spreads further, the global economy. Permanent economic damage often occurs in case of a supply-side shock in the economy. This means supply-side factors, i.e. capital, labor and technology, are permanently affected by drastic events, such as an armed war, natural disasters, financial crises or a global epidemic or pandemic. At this point, the corona outbreak is nowhere near a pandemic and such a pandemic should be considered as a worst case scenario. But under such a scenario, there is a high risk of permanent economic damage. Pandemics in the past, such as the Plague in the mid-14th century or the Spanish flu in 1918-1920, illustrate how these events can leave economies crippled. Due to the Spanish flu, for instance, the US working-age population shrank by half a million people over the course of one year (Figure 6).

In such a case then investment that increased the productivity of the labour force would be important. NZ has had poor productivity growth, so I would have thought policies aimed at diverting NZ's over-investment in inflated residential land towards business capital and research and development would have beneficial consequences.
