Covid-19 and co-operatives

Like all businesses, co-ops are being hit hard by Covid-19. Our early analysis reveals that:

• Almost 40 percent are having to furlough workers in order to survive
• Looking to the medium-long term 70 percent of co-ops express concerns about the health of their business
