in China as entertainment venues remain on lockdown, says Carlsberg
The COVID-19 outbreak severely impacted entertainment spots and dining outlets in China with widespread closures all over the country. This to short-term impacts on beer sales as consumption declined during the outbreak, according to Carlsberg. It was one of many companies monitoring the situation as concerns over the spread and impact on public health grew.
The Danish brewer, whose breweries in the country remained open at the start of the outbreak, said the Chinese market was left in uncertain terms due to COVID-19, and it was likely to be impacted “negatively.”
