COVID-19 has made an impact on many lives around the world as the virus can spread quickly and is very deadly in nature. All levels of schools have shut down while some have moved to online courses, others are being homeschooled. Non-essential stores have closed. Restaurants have either shut down or have transitioned to carry out only and drive-thru if available. The unemployment rate has gone up.
On March 12, the National Basketball League (NBA) cancelled their 2019-20 season due to the pandemic. Since then, all professional sports have either been cancelled or postponed.
