The paucity of written information on the impact of COVID-19 on economic operators prompted us to carry out this study in order to fill the gap and improve resilience in the face of this health phenomenon. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the geographical area of the commune of Bouaké from January 15, 2022 to June 10, 2022. Bouaké plays an undeniable role in Côte d'Ivoire's GDP, as it is home to 10% of the country's industries. Any economic operator residing in Bouaké before the start of the pandemic and working in one of the following areas: Transport or Hotels or Catering or Commerce (supermarkets, appliance stores, etc.) or Maquis and bars or Crafts, was included in the study. Results: The subjects, mostly young and operating in the informal sector, had a good knowledge of COVID-19 and its preventive measures; however, the preventive measures decreed by the authorities led to a drop in their sales by half, three-quarters and the whole amount in 33.8%, 23.1% and 20% of cases respectively. No financial compensation was granted in 96.7% of cases. Conclusion: The resilience of economic operators should in no way obscure the difficulties they experienced during the covid19 pandemic.},
