Abstract

The coronavirus outbreak is the latest world tragedy that has affected all sectors of the economy. The government's preemptive efforts to safeguard public health include lockdown, confinement, limited movement order, and social distancing. While recognizing the importance of the national order in preventing the immense spread of the virus, the authors contend that there are certain undiscovered impacts of the COVID-19 movement block and the role of digitalization on small and medium enterprises in Kurunegala District. In summary, the impacts of the COVID-19 movement block on SMEs are classified by five themes. Moreover, for the role of digitalization, the researcher used three built-in themes. The research recommends suggestions for future research work, business development agencies, and entrepreneurs.
