In this time of unprecedented business interruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic governments, local authorities and financial institutions are trying to help those businesses affected by it.
We’ve heard of studios having to close their doors for the time-being, movie and TV production has ceased and others working in our industry forced to work from home. In some other cases some of our community have been unaffected so far, which in this time is something to be thankful for.
We thought we’d take a poll of the audio community to see how widely this business interruption is affecting us all. We’d also like to hear stories in the comments of how you are affected and also how you have adapted to this change to ensure continued income.
Remember this poll is asking how you have been affected so far, we are not asking you to look into a crystal ball, which to be frank is almost impossible right now.
Remember to stay home and stay safe.
