If you mean a downtime due to the quarantine then that I think only affects offline businesses as you need to interact with people face to face. But in online business face to face interaction is not required so quarantine affects it less.

Downtime in business is always not very good. It brings money lost and changes in the mindset if any person . So you just have to make sure you set your priority right about the business and don't make any rough decision

To meet your objectives, your downtime is really important because it gives you the chance for self-care and contemplation. Time away from your career gives you the insight and distance to analyze your success and results critically and to ensure that you can do work that excites and energizes you. You should handle downtime as something important and sacred, to use and not to use

The best thing to do is to focus on solving the problem, look for options, innovate. There are many entrepreneurs who are using delivery to move forward, they have moved the staff, in 7x7 schedules, ie the jobs that are running online for offline companies are divided with employees, every 7 days they change the group of workers and therefore charge only 15 days a month. This is accepted by them in order not to lose their jobs.

Before corona people used to be active 24/7 and 365 days a year. And the thing is that now a days you hardly even get the time for the business sales and the marketing. And so handling lack of sales and the people who work under you is a mental burden too. And so handling such downtime is a pain both financially and mentally.

How do business can handle such downtimes in this year and in 2021?

The thing about Corona is it a worldwide challenge business wise, thank God things are gradually going back to normal, many businesses even shut down. I don't know how they managed during that period, all I did was take things easy and looked for an alternative to earning money and that was when I stumbled on Gpt sites
