Abstract

Currently, whether in a domestic or international sphere, many small businesses are suffering due to COVID-19. The grim reality is that several businesses are shutting down. While the national disaster relief grant was used to contain the damages by encouraging consumer spending, it has become difficult to prevent closures of small businesses. As of September 2020, more than 20,000 stores have closed in Seoul due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There has also been an increase in the number of people with depression caused by the COVID-19 blues. This issue is not only confined to Seoul in the Republic of Korea, but is influencing all other areas affected by the pandemic. As the number of COVID-19 patients increase, the number of open stores is decreasing steadily. The analysis of the correlation coefficient of Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall suggests a negative correlation between the number of COVID-19 patients and the number of stores in business.

현재 국내든, 해외든 코로나19로 인해 많은 소상공인들이 피해를 입고 있고, 많은 점포들이 문을 닫고 있는 것이 현실이다. 국가재난지원금을 통해 소비자들의 소비를 격려하면서 어느 정도 피해를 막으려고 하지만, 소상공인들의 폐업을 막는 것은 힘들게 되었다. 2020년 9월 서울기준, 코로나19사태로 인해 점포2만곳 이상이 폐점되었고, 코로나 19블루로 인해 우울증에 호소하는 사람들도 많아졌다. 이 문제는 서울, 대한민국뿐만이 아닌, 전 세계적으로 코로나 19 사태에 피해입은 전 지역에 대한 문제다. 코로나19의 환자 수가 증가할수록 점포 수는 꾸준히 줄어들고 있다. 이를 피어슨, 스피어만, 켄달의 상관계수를 분석해 코로나19 환자 수와 점포 수의 음의 상관관계를 나타낸다는 것을 제시한다.
