The participants made proposals and highlighted that transport and logistics sectors are likewise affected by the closure of borders in many countries or by the introduction of a special regime because of the pandemic and discussed the ways to minimize these impacts.

Entrepreneurs were informed about the undertaken actions to minimize the impact of coronavirus infection on the private sector, and looked at the areas of the planned measures and relevant proposals.

The discussions stressed the importance of further increasing the social responsibility of the private sector in the current situation. In this regard, entrepreneurs were recommended to avoid layoffs, employee cutbacks, and to demonstrate corporate social responsibility and public solidarity.
