Government policies to reduce activities outside the home in an effort to prevent the spread of Covid-19 have had a major impact. The economic sector is one of the sectors hard hit by this pandemic. Covid-19 has caused surprises in the economy, both at the level of individuals, households, micro, small, medium and large companies both on a local, national and even global scale.
