COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on small businesses' revenue, and as a result, millions of Americans employed by our smallest businesses are at risk of unemployment. Approximately 35.7 million Americans employed by small businesses are at risk of unemployment due to the COVID-19 crisis. It is vitally important that our small businesses obtain the tools and resources to withstand this pandemic.

Governor Newsom Announced Modifications to Re-Opening
San Diego County Reinforces These Modifications

Today the Governor announced modifications on our move forward in our progress in Stage 2 of reopening our state and moving toward Stage 3. San Diego County reinforced these modifications and cautioned everyone to continue to wear a mask, continue social distancing and follow ALL guidelines to help us continue on our path to open up our county and state.

The modifications announced today include:

  • Offices may open if employees are unable to telecommute. However, offices will need to modify their sites to provide ample room for social distancing.
  • Both indoor and outdoor malls, as well as strip malls can open their door for PICK UP ONLY items, under the new modifications. Click Here to view the entire list of guidelines for these businesses.
  • Others that can now open are: outdoor museums, botanical gardens, car washes, pet grooming and dog walking services.

The information regarding reopening and COVID-19 comes to us on a daily basis. Those that are immediate and time sensitive, we send to you immediately, others are sent to you on a weekly basis.  

Stay safe and healthy,
