Covid 19 pandemisi tüm dünyayı etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Türkiye’de pandemiden olumsuz etkilenen ülkelerden biridir. Türkiye’de pandeminin etkileri 2020 yılının Mart ayından itibaren yansımaya başlamış, bu yansıma Nisan ayı itibari ile derinleşerek bütün ekonomiyi etkilemiştir. Salgının yayılmasını önlemek adına getirilen kısıtlamaların doğrudan etkileri ile bozulan arz-talep dengesi, on binlerce KOBİ üzerinde baskı oluşturmuş, iş akış süreçlerinde köklü değişimler meydana getirmiştir.
