Kapanlagi.com - Amid the corona virus pandemic covid-19 which is currently spreading in various countries, it has affected various sectors including the economy and business. This has forced some companies to lay off employees without income. Certainly, if the corona virus pandemic is not immediately stopped from spreading, the economic and business impacts will be worrying.

As a result of the corona covid-19 pandemic, all activities are temporarily shifted to home. Not a few companies and educational institutions have implemented working and learning activities at home. The government's call to stay at home has made many people struggle to develop their businesses.

However, there are several businesses that still profit amid the corona covid-19 pandemic. The same thing was also conveyed by Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, who revealed in a virtual work meeting that not all industries are under pressure due to the corona pandemic. So, what businesses are still profitable amid the corona covid-19 pandemic?

1. Logistics Services

This corona virus pandemic has greatly changed activities in several sectors, including the economy. Why is that? Since the implementation of social distancing, people have been practicing self-isolation and refraining from leaving their homes. In fact, some people are afraid of traveling and being exposed to this virus.

However, people cannot avoid the various necessities of life that they need to obtain. As a result, many people are utilizing logistics services to send various goods and necessities such as buying vegetables, buying food, and even buying other needs through online shopping. Therefore, logistics services are in high demand to help meet the needs of life without having to leave the house.

2. Telecommunication Services

The spread of the corona virus has not shown any signs of slowing down. Each day, the number of people infected with the corona virus continues to increase. The government's efforts to break the chain of this virus by emphasizing that everyone should stay at home is starting to cause boredom.

Many activities have to be postponed and require communication through long distances. This situation has led some people to heavily rely on the internet. The increase in internet users' traffic in the midst of the corona virus has become one way to fulfill work and learning needs that are done online. Thanks to these services, the telecommunications sector plays an important role in supporting the needs of the community during social distancing.

3. Food and Drinks

The primary need for food and drinks during quarantine to stay at home is the first list that everyone thinks of. Considering that the government restricts activities outside the home, people choose to stock up on some food and drinks for supplies in the midst of the corona pandemic.

The need for food and drinks for the community is indeed endless. Some foods that are increasingly sought after by people during a pandemic include: cooking oil, staple foods (rice, wheat, legumes, and other dry ingredients), complementary foods such as snacks, condiments, vegetables and fruits, and frozen foods are also in high demand.

4. Pharmacy

The public's panic about the corona virus has made pharmaceutical companies have to provide drug stocks. This panic is what makes some people take precautions to avoid exposure to the covid-19 virus. Therefore, businesses still profit in the midst of the corona virus pandemic, one of which is the pharmaceutical industry.

In addition to food and drinks, a number of needs for medicine, masks, hand sanitizers, and vitamins are also sought after. They choose to supply drugs from doctor's prescriptions, including generic drugs without a doctor's prescription.

5. Textile Products

Many textile products that have been produced have been postponed due to a decrease in demand from the market. As a result, many textile products have switched businesses to produce personal protective equipment (PPE) and some have made fabric masks due to high demand.

These steps are the right steps to continue to survive in the midst of the corona pandemic. In addition, the production diversion is aimed at minimizing employee layoffs due to the increasingly sluggish textile business. Moreover, it is able to fill the production gap during the ongoing pandemic.

6. Electronics

The impact of the corona virus is increasingly affecting several business sectors. Many business people complain about the impact of the decline caused by this outbreak. However, surprisingly, electronic products are in demand to support work and study activities that are temporarily carried out at home. In addition, electronic gaming devices are also selling well to fill time during social distancing.

Those are a series of businesses that remain profitable in the midst of the corona covid-19 pandemic. For business players, the industrial sector can be used as a reference to continue to generate opportunities in the current situation in order to keep the business running.
