Each Wednesday, the Reopening Support Team will be available (virtually) from 10:15-10:45 am to answer member questions or connect you to a resource that can.
Here are just a few of the questions members of the team have been asked to date:
- When can I reopen my business?
- Can you help clarify the phases of reopening?
- Where can I find health guidance for my type of business?
- What if my employee refuses to come back to work because they don't feel safe?
- What is the proper way to bring back my furloughed employees?
- If I test positive for COVID-19 when can I return to work?
- How do I get licensed for outdoor dining?
- Can I still apply for a PPP loan?
- How can I maximize my PPP Loan forgiveness?
Each week we will provide a new URL link and call-in phone number to join the meeting. If the team can't provide an immediate answer, they will connect you to a resource that can.
