Abstract

As a result of the Covid-19 epidemic, every industry in the world has been greatly affected.

This paper investigated how Covid-19 affected Petronas and how it responded to the sharp drop in oil price. In a questionnaire survey, we listed the problems that Petronas may face in this outbreak.
