COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on New Economy Development and Societal Change
The pandemic has resulted in many people adapting to massive changes in life, from increased internet commerce to the job market. Social distancing has caused increased sales from large e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Alibaba, and Coupang. Online retailers in the US posted 791.70 billion dollars in sales in 2020, increasing 32.4% from 598.02 billion dollars from the year before. The trend of home delivery orders has increased due to the pandemic, with indoor dining restaurants shutting down due to lockdown orders or low sales. Hackers and cybercriminals/scammers have started targeting people due to the massive changes, with some pretending to be part of the CDC and others using different phishing schemes. Education worldwide has increasingly shifted from physical attendance to video conferencing apps such as Zoom as lockdown measures have resulted in schools being forced to shut down. Due to the pandemic, mass layoffs have occurred in the airline, travel, hospitality, and some other industries. (There were no signs of permanent recovery as of May 2021).

Abstract
The objective of this chapter was to structurally model the high priority factors in the face of the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome COVID-19 on the energy market. The method was based on interpretive structural modeling, and the matrix of crossed impacts multiplication was applied to classification. A model of 12 factors structured hierarchically in six levels is proposed in which consumption preferences, regulatory and normative modifications, political restrictions, and planning strategies have the greatest influence on the energy market from the perspective of China. As a result of this, it is suggested to move towards greater participation of public and private actors in renewable energy vectors.
