Resumo

A COVID-19 foi declarada pandemia sem tratamento aparente desse vírus no final de 2019. Foi recomendado observar o distanciamento social, colocar em quarentena o paciente infectado e seguir boas práticas de higiene. Além disso, algumas estratégias foram adotadas para controlar a disseminação do COVID-19, incluindo distanciamento social, uso de máscaras faciais, bloqueio forçado e fechamento de fronteiras. Muitos países em desenvolvimento, como o Paquistão, estão enfrentando graves crises e recessão econômica. A maioria das pessoas afetadas por essa pandemia são mulheres, crianças, idosos e pessoas com deficiências imunológicas. O zoom se tornou a contraparte da vida durante essa pandemia porque as pessoas o usam para trabalho, educação e socialização. Essa pandemia resultou em altos ganhos no setor de TI. O tamanho do mercado de comércio eletrônico do Paquistão testemunhou um novo recorde. O crescimento do tamanho do mercado de e-commerce e mobile banking aumentou rapidamente. Além disso, o governo pode ajudar na transição dos negócios para o modo online, o que pode ajudar a manter os empregos e a estabilidade do crescimento econômico.
