The COVID-19 pandemic is a wake-up call that improves our awareness on the necessity to be fully independent and self-sufficient. A new outbreak of virus has influenced almost everything, partially or completely changing the normal life. It forced to introduce new approaches or to take actions to lessen the impact and to bring its to minimum. The influence did not pass by businesses, but dramatically changed them.
