It has been almost two years since the Covid-19 pandemic struck our country. Numerous economic sectors, such as services, manufacturing, construction, have been tremendously affected.

Many people, especially unemployed workers, have to bear the brunt of the storm. They are experiencing enormous stress due to the fact they have no income to put food on the table for their families. The last resort of committing suicide is not the panacea for the problem.

They can choose a vast array of options to ensure that their lives would not be devastated by the pandemic. We must be obliged to the digital economy for cushioning the deleterious impacts of the pandemic on the economy and society. Those who embrace the digital economy will survive better. This suggests that our economic activities transpire by employing innovative digital technologies. We can buy goods and services using various applications on our mobile phones, such as Foodpanda, GrabFood, Lazada, etc.
