Meeting:
The Impact of Coronavirus on America’s Small Businesses
Committee on Small Business

2360 RHOB
Washington, D.C.
On January 30, 2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency over novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19. The virus has infected over 80,000 people and killed nearly 3,000 worldwide, with confirmed cases on every continent but Antarctica. The outbreak has caused global supply-chain disruption, with small firms that rely on Chinese imports struggling with the economic fallout. Further, small businesses, like restaurants and tourism companies, are being impacted by the spread of misinformation and xenophobia. Members will hear from health experts, economists, and small firms disrupted by the Coronavirus and work to establish best practices to prepare for and react to the global health epidemic.
