The world is now ready to enter a second wave of Coronavirus and several lockdowns. What a year ago seemed
too far and like a fairytale, is now a reality and a nightmare all over the world. On March 11, 2020 the World Health
Organization (WHO) declared the Coronavirus disease (a.k.a Covid- 19) a pandemic as it spread in a short time all over the
world. The Coronavirus disease has already affected life in many countries. In the long term, it is predicted that it will
bring about changes that are quite likely to be permanent.
Along with the measures taken on prevention and control of thespread of the outbreak; international supply chains, supplydemand
balance, consumer and producer behavior, businessmethods, working models, education methods and daily life are
changing. The concern for all countries needs to be researched in different aspects.The Covid- 19 crisis has caused considerable damage in
every aspect of life. We believe that different socio- economic aspects need to be discussed by scholars involved in academia
and people who are interested in contributing to this new topic the world is facing.This book comprises nine chapters including topics
related to several impacts and challenges that Covid- 19 brought about on economy, education, social life, trade,
geopolitical relations, and what is more important on our health care systems.We realize that this editorial book will lead a way to
policy makers, implementers, researchers, students and those who are interested in learning more about Covid- 19 impacts
all over the world. We hope and believe that it will be widely read As Socrates said: “The secret of change is to focus all
of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building thenew”. Now, it’s our turn to focus on our new normal, new
reality and we are all in this together
