Uncaught Error: Call to a member function prepare() on null in …wsm_db.php:340

Same error on one of the websites I maintain. (domain removed in error message). Appeared for no reason so it seems, since no updates were done over the last few days. All plugins are up to date.

WordPress version 5.4.2
Current theme: Make (version 1.9.28)
Current plugin: WP Visitor Statistics (version 3.4)
PHP version 7.2.31
