Summary

Introduction

After the pandemic outbreak numerous studies that reflect the impact of the corona virus crisis from the medical, economic, social, environmental as well as legal points of view started to appear. Firano and Fatine [1] model the economic consequences of the epidemic in Morocco in their research, and they emphasize that the choice of the restrictive policy has enabled reduction of the negative medical impacts of the pandemic. Another study [8] emphasizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the society worldwide to resort to social distancing to slow down the spreading of the SARSCoV-2 virus. Studies exist that point out the fact that the negative economic impact of the Covid 19 virus spreading might have political consequences and give rise to the strengthening of extremist groups and opposition movements and escalate into armed conflicts [9]. A study by Neumeyer et al [10] on the other hand points out that Covid 19 represents a great challenge to entrepreneurs and an opportunity towards a permanently sustainable and circular economy
