Story<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Around the world, businesses are finding ways to overcome the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic. With physical distancing policies and quarantines set up to slow down the spread of the disease, brick-and-mortar businesses have faced challenges in resuming operations, thus impacting their ability to generate cash flow and revenues.<\/p>\n
