The Covid-19 pandemic, which started as a health crisis in 2019 in Wuhan, China and then caused significant economic problems, has affected the world. The closure methods applied by the states in order to combat this virus have caused economic problems due to supply and demand. It is being discussed whether the world can return to its pre-pandemic state.
