As a result of this crisis , the number of companies  that declared bankruptcy after the outbreak of the Corona crisis has increased  . At the beginning of the crisis  ,  the impact of the Corona pandemic on those companies was initially temporary closure, but as a result of the absence the cash flow resulting from the closure and the collapse of domestic and external demand has stopped , these companies became unable  to cover debt payments owed to creditors.  Some analysts expect that by the end of 2021 , the number of these bankrupt companies will double if smart and fast mechanisms are not found to deal with the conditions of companies of various sectors and sizes, especially those which are  labor-intensive.
