Impact of COVID-19
We experience the effect of the pandemic in all
areas of our business, from delays in raw material deliveries, to
clinical and product development projects and absence of key
persons in the company from time to time. Due to lockdowns and
other COVID-19 related measures all our business meeting, marketing
events, conferences and expos were either canceled or turned
virtual, slowing down the pace of our business development
efforts.
