We are going through what is the greatest crisis of modern times.
The world as we know it is changing rapidly because of the outbreak of the Covid-19 scourge. A crisis of this magnitude causes tremendous uncertainty because no-one can predict the full and precise impact of the outbreak on our society and economy.

But such has been the impact of the coronavirus scourge that, like everyone else, we have had to work under extremely difficult conditions.
