How Covid-19 affected the world

Our daily routine was disrupted, we were stuck inside with just a hope of a new vaccine or natural elimination of Corona Virus, and most importantly the economy was interrupted.

People with income based on their businesses, and especially the daily wagers were the ones who noticed a drastic downfall. Many were forced to permanently shut their business down, who have no idea from where to initiate now. This pandemic hit everyone on a global scale.

Yet, there were some businesses which somehow had either no effect or very less amount of loss faced. These were mainly online businesses or the ones who were somehow had associated themselves with online services.

Restriction on public movement

Gyms were affected as they were the ones with a high amount of public movement, who then switched to online training sessions; meanwhile, the most thriving business was health care, treating not just the virus affected patients but also the regular diseases and accidents.  

People being stuck in their home, with their loved ones have developed an interest in many household activities. This gave a boon to the sale of gardening tools and cooking utensils. Talking about business, people started with their home run bakery, supplying cakes, cookies, bread and other lip-smacking dishes that are easy to cook and can be freshly served.

New business ideas

Another new business idea amongst the list, which is heated up these days is Pottery and growing & selling of saplings. With day by day number of people being added in the list of artists, as they are quarantined at one place, some have now developed their interest in making sculptures and doing pottery.
