are probably having massive issues at the moment. I think people cannot pay their employees right now, let alone the freelancers, so they have to cut back where they can. Je to hrozne, ale dufajme, ze to zase prejde (this is terrible, but let's hope it will pass)! | | | Vaclav Hruza Czech Republic Local time: 16:26 French to Czech + ...

by the Coronavirus. I know several people working in hotels and some of them told me that their hotel is in fact going to shut down in the following days. Hotels are of course only the tip of the iceberg, all their vendors, including Booking, marketing agencies, catering, laundry industry etc. will certainly feel the consequences as well. | | |
I'm reproducing what I wrote yesterday in a different thread: Portugal's tourism industry is already feeling the impact of Covid-19, with 60% of hotels in the Algarve region reporting cancellations.

This is not to say I minimise what is going on in the clinics and hospitals around the world at the moment. | | | Marina Steinbach United States Local time: 10:26 Member (2011) English to German Has your workload increased in the meantime? | Jun 1, 2020 |
