From First Mile To Last Mile: How Logistics Changed Over The Last Year!

In March 2019, the Wuhan province of China experienced an outbreak that later led to the shutdown of supply chains on a global scale. This outbreak was followed by a lockdown in all of China and, within a few months, the world.
