Apr 14, 2020 Gourav Bajaj Press Release
What is Covid-19 / Corona Virus disease?
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a very harmful infectious disease caused by the newly founded coronavirus that started from china in December last year. Coronavirus directly hits the respiratory system, starts from mild and goes to a moderate phase in around 14 days. Older peoples and children (below 10) are more likely to develop the serious illness of this disease. People who are suffering from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer have more risk of coming under the coronavirus disease.
According to World Health Organization
“The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).”

When china is suffering from this, some countries started taking serious steps but some of them were not. Those who didn’t take any action on this disease are experiencing heavy loss for example- the USA, Iran, and Italy.
In Countries like India, the government takes serious steps with companies like website designing and other IT industries to adopt the work from home process to protect the employees from the coronavirus.
1) Businesses are going to struggle for a while
Businesses are going to struggle for a while because of the lockdown situation offline businesses are closed excluding departmental stores, the medical shops, and the confectioneries.
Now if we talk about online businesses, they are moving towards groceries like Flip kart and Amazon. Because of not getting stock of the products, so they go unavailable from now to the time when the situation will come under control.
Web design and website development companies are suffering more because of no work out there in the market. Markets are down, no business is running offline and online. Services like website designing, mobile application development, e-commerce website designing, digital marketing are not in use because no one wants to invest in these services when there is no transaction of business is happening.
2) Decrease in the Ecommerce business
Ecommerce businesses are going towards grocery products because of the demand for food items from the population. They know people are not going outside for any type of shopping because of the fear of the coronavirus (COVID-19). So, these websites are selling grocery products and medicines for a while.
Affect of not running the business and their websites like e-commerce websites, agencies those who provide the ecommerce website designing and other website development services don’t have any work. Doesn’t matter they do work from home or not because they don’t have any work to do at home.
3) Office closures
Travel restrictions and office closures are the best steps to control the Novel Corona Disease. But industries and companies are going in loss by this. Because of no work and according to the government they have to pay a salary to the employees.
IT industries like website designing companies approaching work from home options. This will not stop their work but they can feel drop-down in their output because, at home, employees are not able to work with full concentration. They don’t get the proper environment for work at home and this will slow down their work speed.
A report by Gartner, a leading IT service management company, says that 54% of the companies in India do not have enough technology and resources for employees to work to home.
4) Travel restrictions and quarantine
Travel restrictions and quarantines affecting hundreds of millions of people have left factories short of labor and parts, disrupting just-in-time supply chains and triggering sales warnings across technology, automotive, consumer goods, pharmaceutical, and other industries.
Travelling also affects those who go outside the country because of the business work. These types of businesses are stopped due to coronavirus disease
