The only companies that remain active are those that offer digital services.

Faced with the tragic consequences that the Coronavirus is having on our world economy, we can see that digitized companies are managing to stay active, while non-digitized companies have been forced to stop all activity, ceasing to generate income and leaving themselves in a critical financial situation.

The only businesses that are not being negatively affected by the health crisis are those that offer digital services.
