In order to measure the impact of SARS-Cov.2, the National Institute of Statistics carried out an ad-hoc survey that was conducted between the 17th and 19th of March 2020 on the estimation of the evolution of activity and of the number of employees for the periods 17/19 - 31 March and 1 - 30 April 2020.
The managers of the companies were asked about the perception on the evolution of the economic activity, respectively if they consider that the activity will be reduced by up to 25%, between 25-50%, over 50% or it will be closed, but also if the activity will not be reduced or it might even grow. Due to the uncertainty of the SARS-Cov.2 evolution, managers had the posibility to chose the answer "I can't estimate".
