Abstract: At the end of 2019, the first case of a virus, named SARS-CoV-2 (COVID), was confirmed in Wuhan, China. Over the next few months, the virus spread around the world and began to affect all areas of our life. An important role in the fight against the disease is played by the restriction of social contacts, which the governments of most states implement in the form of restrictions at various levels. Restricting the international and domestic market significantly affect the current development of foreign and domestic production and transport, which has a negative impact on the global economy and specific impacts on the economy of the vast majority of countries, including the EU and the Slovak Republic. As a result of the COVID pandemic, countries all around the globe have taken some kinds of measures that have resulted in limiting the selfemployed and business in their economic and financial operations. If they do not have sufficient financial reserves and their main source of income is limited due to different anti-pandemic measures, sooner or later they will be forced to decide what will happen with their business. The aim of the article is to point out the impacts of a COVID pandemic on the Slovak economy and the changes it brought within the perception of valuation of companies in Slovakia.
