(2020). The socio-economic implications of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19):

A review. International Journal of Surgery, 78.

 

The purpose of this article is to explore the effect of Covid-19 in social-economic status. The article states that Covid-19 has affected every aspect of life. The largest part that has been affected is the economy, as the entire world is experiencing an economic crisis and recession. The article examines the primary sector such as agriculture, secondary sectors such as the manufacturing industry, and tertiary sector such as education. All these sectors have been affected and businesses have experienced financial collapses. The article suggests that the government, the healthcare, and other stakeholders need to implement relief measures to re-energize the economy.

  This scholarly article relates to my research topic about the impact of Covid-19 to the businesses community. This source provides supporting evidence as it contains background information about the COVID-19 pandemic. The article strengths my thoughts and argument and provides new ideas and the right amount of information concerning the issues at hand. The sources look at the financial and operational challenges, and propose tangible actions that will contribute to meaningful change.

The source relates to other sources. This is because my other sources back up my research topic. All sources have validity. They do not only give an interpretation of the Covid-19 pandemic, but they also provide observation and subjective commentary. They focus on facts or in other words they provide true information. Note that many authors have made discoveries and have arrived at the conclusion that Covid-19 is a threat to the economy. Since these authors have the knowledge of the subject being discussed, I will use their information and opinions to gain economic insight, and learn more about business performance during the global pandemic.
