The survey polled industry-wide businesses, with subjects ranging from financial impact to response to return to play projections.
According to the April 2020 Report, COVID-19 elicited a dramatic and immediate drop in sales, with 55% of respondents reporting sales decreases of 51% or greater when compared to April 2019.
