COVID-19 Resources
(Last Updated: March 25, 2020)
There is real concern about COVID-19 and the effect it is having not only on those individuals who test positive, but on businesses across the country and the world. Considering the angst surrounding the virus itself demands a serious assessment of our routines and habits. Put your health first, but keep your community in mind. If you’re noticing any signs of sickness, stay home and rest. Wash your hands multiple times daily, and remember 20-seconds is a great start.
At the Chamber, your business is our business, and we are striving to assure the safety and health of our business community is priority.
