The lockdown in various countries due to COVID-19 pandemic has created an economic burden on the private healthcare sector. Healthcare providers were facing challenges with regards to manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources to ensure safety in the treatment of patients with other diseases, etc. Moreover, the coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted the development, production, and supply of drugs and affected growth of the healthcare businesses of various companies across the globe. This has led to closure of industrial establishments, except manufacturing of essential commodities and disruption in supply chain of products.
Thus, COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy in three main ways: 1) by directly affecting the production and demand, 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets.
