IMPACT OF COVID 19 LOCKDOWNS ON THE EDUCATION SECTOR. THE CASE OF RWANDA

Abstract

The corona virus pandemic has affected the economy as a whole. Hospitality sector has affected to the great extent due to COVID-19. Economically, restaurants have also been affected very badly. Recovery of losses of restaurants may take a while to make up for the losses happened during the shutdown period. Importance of food quality and hygiene has been very important. Restaurants may want to take on even more stringent norms to ensure quality of food that is cooked in good hygienic kitchens as any laxity here may cause them unconquerable losses in both income and reputation. People choose to order food online with restaurants shutting down; and people who are willing t order food are depending on online food delivery services such as Swiggy, Zomato, and Uber Eats. Most important consideration in post Covid-19 will be on health and safety which will focus into hygiene and sanitation issues of the restaurant. The key role is to provide physical evidence of the restaurant concern for health and safety. Finance is the second great consideration for working capital and Technology is the main third consideration.
