California Governor Gavin Newsom announced yesterday directives to address the need to slow the spread of COVID-19, and Sacramento County urges compliance with those directives. Sacramento County also urges compliance with the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) new guidance, released yesterday, recommending events and gatherings across the United States consist of no more than 50 people. 

The Governor’s announcement had several directives to slow the spread of COVID-19, which included:
  • Closing all bars, night clubs, wineries and brew pubs, as they are considered non-essential;
  • Restaurants cut their seating capacity in half but not more than 50 to comply with social distancing requirements, and those who are 65 or older or with chronic health conditions should not dine in restaurants;
  • Those who are 65 or older or with chronic underlying health conditions should stay home.
The CDC announced its recommendation that for the next eight weeks, organizers cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States.

U.S. Small Business Administration is now accepting applications for low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital (Economic Injury Disaster Loans) for small businesses and private, non-profit organizations in designated counties of California and other states to help alleviate economic injury caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
 
To access SBA assistance, go to the  Disaster Loan Assistance portal . You can click on “Eligible Disaster Areas” to see what counties have been designated as coronavirus disaster affected. As of March 16, 2020, the following 35 California counties were designated:
 
Alameda, Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Imperial, Kern, Lake, Los Angeles, Madera, Marin, Mariposa, Mendocino, Merced, Mono, Napa, Orange, Placer , Riverside, Sacramento , San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tuolumne, Ventura, Yolo
 
Economic Injury Disaster Loans are working capital (rather than loans for physical damage) to help small businesses and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster. These loans are intended to assist through the disaster recovery period.
 
Federal law limits these to $2,000,000 maximum for alleviating economic injury caused by the disaster, and the actual amount of each loan is limited to the economic injury determined by SBA, less business interruption insurance and other recoveries up to the administrative lending limit. SBA also considers potential contributions that are available from the business and/or its owner(s) or affiliates.
 
These loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact. The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses without credit available elsewhere; businesses with credit available elsewhere are not eligible. The interest rate for non-profits is 2.75%.
 
SBA offers loans with long-term repayments in order to keep payments affordable, up to a maximum of 30 years. Terms are determined on a case-by-case basis, based upon each borrower’s ability to repay.
 
To apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loans, click on “Apply Online” and create an account and password. Then submit your application. An  explanation of SBA disaster application loan process is here . The application requires submitting the following forms ( copes of which are available here ):

  • Business Loan Application (SBA Form 5) completed and signed by business applicant.
  • IRS Form 4506-T completed and signed by Applicant business, each principal owning 20% or more of the applicant business, each general partner or managing member and, for any owner who has more than a 50% ownership in an affiliate business.

  • Complete copies, including all schedules, of the most recent Federal income tax returns for the applicant business; an explanation if not available. 
  • Personal Financial Statement (SBA Form 413) completed, signed and dated by the applicant (if a sole proprietorship), each principal owning 20% or more of the applicant business, each general partner or managing member.

We are undoubtedly in unprecedented times and realize that the situation regarding COVID-19 is ever changing at incredible speed. We are seeing the beginnings of a ridership decline related to school and business closures, Administration recommendations for self-isolation, telecommuting, and social distancing.
 
SacRT is continually adapting our operations and business to meet these changes and we will update you regarding service modifications as soon as possible; however, it is anticipated that staffing shortages will occur in the coming weeks. SacRT recommends that bus riders check the  sacrt.com/alerts  page for bus trip cancellations. We recommend checking the page frequently as this page only provides forecasted trip cancellations, in which trips can be restored at a later time.
