NOTE 11 - COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPLICATIONS

 

The COVID-19 pandemic originated in Wuhan, China, in late 2019 and quickly thereafter spread to multiple countries, including the United States, Israel and many countries in Europe. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. While COVID-19 is still spreading and the final implications of the pandemic are difficult to estimate at this stage, it is clear that it has affected the lives of a large portion of the global population. At this time, the pandemic has caused states of emergency to be declared in various countries, travel restrictions imposed globally, quarantines established in certain jurisdictions and various institutions and companies being closed. The company is actively monitoring the pandemic and taking any necessary measures to respond to the situation in cooperation with the various stakeholders.

 

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, The company will continue to assess the situation, including government-imposed restrictions, market by market. It is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on our business, the continued spread of COVID-19, and any additional measures taken by governments, health officials or by the company in response to such spread, could adversely affect the company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have also negatively impacted global economic conditions, which, in turn, could adversely affect the company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact the company’s financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new government actions or restrictions, new information that may emerge concerning the severity, longevity and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity.
