Instead of commenting on current news about Covid-19, we have gathered and presented all data about cases in Greece, Google searches and sales of two product categories that record the largest increase since the first Covid-19 case in Greece.
The graph depicts the correlation between cases, consumers' digital behavior, and the market.
The initial reaction and the restriction of the disease in Greece, the first regulations and the cancellation of carnival events, the dead calm period, and the newest, but greatest reaction following the expansion of the disease and the reinforcement of protection regulations. You can navigate yourself through these updates in our graph powered by Qlik platform.
