    2021-02-01

    Businesses are facing unprecedented challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For some businesses, the impact has been immediate such as in the travel and events industries where sales have come to a sudden halt. For many other client facing businesses, such as in the hospitality and retail industries, revenues have taken a sharp decline due to social distancing measures. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy are expected to continue well after the easing of restrictions and re-opening of various sectors of the economy.
