The new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which has stemmed in December 2019, has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 and turned into a global health crisis (Liu et al., 2020). Besides wars, pandemics have been the most dangerous and fearful threats to human life throughout history. As of August 2020, the pandemic has cost more than 777,000 lives worldwide with approximately 22 million cases and it was still ongoing. Besides its devastating impact on the health systems, the pandemic has led to an unpredictable change in the economic and social environment and the business and social life.
