<p>The COVID-19 health crisis generated an economic crisis at global level and consequently determined numerous economic disturbances at different levels.

This paper concentrates on the study of the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis on international trade with the focus on two countries.

The analysis includes the first two years of the pandemics, 2020-2021. The results of the analysis illustrate that the COVID-19 burden had an effect on international trade in the two countries.
