The highest number of suspended business was recorded in the food sector and in hairdressing. The rapid increase is attributed to the governmentʼs preventive measures taken against the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic, which has closed many businesses or slashed demand for their services.

According to Bisnode analyst Petra Štěpánová, people are suspending their businesses in order to be eligible for unemployment benefit or other social support, Czech Radio reports.
