The declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic is forcing companies to confront a host of hard questions and many companies are exploring alternate methods like work from home programs, etc.; which only reinforces the fact that the fight against COVID-19 is not ending anytime soon.
In light of current developments and local efforts towards containment, local brick and mortar businesses (and wholesalers who supply them with products) may witness a steep drop in the number of customers visiting their store and in overall business volume. Businesses that have a presence online will not be affected that much, because their existing online solutions allow them to carry out business remotely even in these difficult times.
