Due to the measurements restricting face-to-face communication, businesses, communities and nations have been experiencing significant problems in keeping on their life-styles and traditional work schedules and dynamics. Many of them have been looking for the scenarios to adjust to the changed conditions and transfer all personal and business communications online. Some businesses had to close down due to the unsustainability of their business models and relations under the conditions of the global lockdown. The time of the global pandemic posed a challenge which had to be coped with at all levels of the human being’s functioning, starting with the family as the smallest societal unit and coming up to the international businesses and markets.
