Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak, which began to spread in 2020, significantly hurt the global economy and
raised attention to the implications of new health problems on business operations. Since the
pandemic's beginning, several studies have been conducted to determine the impact of this calamity
on various areas of human existence. This article, which is a component of the project, attempts to
give rough orders of magnitude of the impact of the pandemic on the performance of the transport
and logistics industry by using Amazon as an example of a worldwide e-commerce firm. The
COVID-19 pandemic's effects on the global logistics and transportation sectors were additionally
highlighted by this study. The implications of the global border closure brought on by the health
crisis at the beginning of 2020 must thus be examined in this contribution. We are interested in
learning more about how the coronavirus affects transportation, supply networks, and these
services. Additionally, how did this pandemic affect the global economic downturn?
