consumers for spending, Other than essentials things slowdown

investment and these are damaging the economy. Production of
goods services are crash & workers are staying away from work.

goods required social proximity.

The way entrepreneurial business models and approaches are
affected by the pandemic will have an impact on how
entrepreneurship is perceived as a job choice in the future.
The onset and spread of COVID-19 have left few people, if any,
unaffected. Governments the world over have been repeatedly tested
and stretched. They have set new rules and norms to try to re-establish
confidence and give economies a chance of survival.
Less noticed and discussed, however, is the impact of the pandemic
on entrepreneurial businesses. As sources of finance dry up, more
than 40% of new ventures will fall into the so-called “red zone” with
only enough cash for three months or less of normal operations.
Since the beginning of the crisis, more than 70% of start-ups have had
to terminate contracts of full-time employees.
Yet, while a large number of start-ups have suffered during the
pandemic, COVID-19 has also led to an increase in entrepreneurial
activity. Companies and individuals across the world have rallied to
respond to, and where possible, tackle this crisis. From organizers of
music festivals overseeing pop-up morgues to automotive companies
pivoting manufacturing to much-needed ventilators, there has been a
surge in creativity. People and companies have devised new ideas to
respond to existing or emerging needs insufficiently addressed by
governments and incumbent institutions.
