Let’s walk on the beach, for a month

f you were to walk every bit of the Palmetto State’s tidal coastline, you’d have a 2,876-mile trek to get from Georgia to North Carolina, which would take you about 719 hours at the average walking speed of 4 mph. Considering pluff mud, that’s probably a generous rate of speed. Also that includes every tidal inlet and island, because we like to be thorough. Even through the coronavirus pandemic, South Carolina’s beaches (for better or worse) continue to be popular destinations for folks wanting to escape the house — both local folks and those from out of state. We’re not sure how the numbers are going to shake out for fiscal 2020 after everything is said and done, when we have a vaccine and can safely reopen the economy. But here’s a look at fiscal 2019, as far as tourism is concerned. (The fiscal year ends June 30.)

Clemson researchers develop ‘highest-quality’ cotton DNA sequence

www.davisair.com

Using genome or DNA sequencing, Clemson University’s genetics team created the “highest-quality DNA sequence” for crops in the cotton family as the school’s geneticists seek to develop varieties resistant to climate change, pests and other threats. “We believe this sequence, or DNA roadmap, will provide the foundation for more sustainable crops to be grown,” Chris Saski, a genomics professor in Clemson’s plant and environmental sciences department, said in a news release. Throughout the team’s research, they compared two domesticated cotton breeds, upland and pima cotton, with wild varieties to pinpoint genes with conductive fiber traits and disease resistance, among other traits. South Carolina farmers tend to favor upland cotton, while pima cotton is starting to make a comeback after the breed’s 100-year absence from the state. “Cotton has an annual economic impact of $500 billion worldwide,” Saski said in the release. “But it currently is threatened by several devastating diseases, such as fusarium wilt and nematode infection, that impact growing areas, including the southeastern United States.” In South Carolina alone, 300,000 acres, or $141 million worth, of cotton were planted in 2019. Final results of the research were published in Nature Genetics magazine. VOLUME 13 NUMBER 9 ■ COLUMBIABUSINESSREPORT.COM

s South Carolina’s small businesses feel the economic crush of COVID19, Facebook’s Diana Doukas argues that they have found an unlikely ally in the social media giant. “Facebook has long been in the business of small business, and it is our job to support the community,” said Diana Doukas, Facebook’s economic impact director and former White House Business Council director. “As soon as we even had an indication that COVID-19 was going to impact the small business com-

Still, Facebook’s analytics and data collection capacities may play an even larger role in helping small businesses chart their next leaps into an ever-expanding online marketplace.

who started the online coffee shop in 2016. “It was like new order after new order.” It was bittersweet, she added. People are showering Black-owned businesses with support amid protests against police brutality. The sudden attention on inequality in America has led to numerous online lists spotlighting Blackowned companies for people to support. But Black entrepreneurs who run the businesses say they have mixed feelings. “On one hand, this is what we’ve been praying for. This is the support we’ve wanted for so long,” Christian said. “But it comes after such horrible and disgraceful acts. It comes after all these Black men and women have been killed by cops.” Almost as soon as protests kicked off in late May, online sales surged 225% over what was considered average, she said.

business and how they participating in the social well-being of their community,” Cohee said. “The death of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery focused people’s attention on using their financial resources as a way to better their community.” OneUnited is one of about two dozen Black-owned banks and credit unions in the United States, according to the financial advocacy group Blackout Coalition. South Carolina is served by OneUnited, as well as C.O. Federal Credit Union, headquartered on Spring Street in Charleston, and Brookland Federal Credit Union on Sunset Boulevard in West Columbia. Many banks run by Black people are

in locales that are underserved by other banks. The minority institutions provide access to safe and affordable bank accounts, mortgages and business loans, which are often hard for Black entrepreneurs to secure, Cohee said. From 2007 to 2017, more than half of companies with Black owners got turned down for loans, a rate twice as high as white business owners, according to the Federal Reserve’s most recent data. Despite issues with financing, the share of Black-owned businesses in the U.S. has risen over the past decade. There are now 2.6 million, up from 1.9 million in 2007, according to the Commerce Department.

Still, Black business owners say it’s hard to gauge how to scale their companies with the influx of revenue because no one knows whether or how long the shifts in buying habits will last. “I’m afraid to scale too much because you never know if this is going to be a weeklong thing or is it going to be a oneday type of thing,” Christian said. “But it’s my hope that we keep this energy up so that we can create more opportunities, more jobs and more resources for our own communities.” CRBJ

It started with a list

It turned out that her Chicago-based coffee brand was included on several blog posts, Google Docs and spreadsheets going around social media in a loosely connected effort to uplift the community. One such list was created by Destinee Stark of Plain Township, Ohio, and includes more than 250 Black-owned establishments in the state. Duan Gavel, a developer in Springfield, Mo., created another one even earlier. Lois Hines, founder of the hair care company Tropic Isle Living, also saw a surge in business after appearing on a list. Orders ramped up in late May, and the Jamaica-sourced castor oil brand flew off the shelves at Target and Walmart. “At first we couldn’t understand it,” Hines said. “We were like, wait a minute. Is this people shedding light on Blackowned businesses?” The movement may mark a cultural shift. For a long time, many Black entrepreneurs were wary of having their businesses labeled “Black-owned” out of fear that it would limit their customer base. “When I started my business, I had advisers say, ‘You shouldn’t put your face in front of your brand because that might turn off certain people from buying your coffee,’ ” Christian said. “Now, I’m glad I didn’t listen.”

Black-owned banks are busy, too

Minority-owned businesses have long had a harder time getting financing, which might also be spurring interest in Black-owned banks. OneUnited received 40,000 new accounts over the past month. The first boost came from the pandemic with more people shifting to mobile banking, said Kevin Cohee, CEO of OneUnited. A second wave came from people thinking about how spending can influence the race-related changes they want to see, he added. “The awareness around racism caused people to rethink where they’re doing

hen Teresa Arnold and Kevin Arnold sold their fitness business in Summerville, they took time off until the married couple were ready for their next entrepreneurial challenge. About 18 months ago, that challenge was going to be a food and beverage franchise in West Ashley, near a new housing development and growing commercial corridor off Bees Ferry Road. With a site selected, employees ready to train and a commercial kitchen in place, everything came to a stop in March as the coronavirus pandemic shut everything down, particularly food and beverage. Teresa Arnold said they interviewed prospective job candidates for the entire first week of March, hoping for a midMarch opening, even though she and her husband knew something might happen with the pandemic. “It was like within a couple of days,” Teresa Arnold said. “It was just so fast that it happened.” Today, the Arnolds are one of the first companies to go through Gov.

Health and Environmental Control’s Palmetto Priority program. Kevin Arnold said he signed up for the program immediately and went through the training, which certifies that a food and beverage business is following a specific set of health and safety guidelines for being open during the pandemic. “I think they see that we are taking it very serious because we wear our masks, we wear our gloves, we clean the tables then we take the spray that’s recommended ... to sanitize it,” Kevin Arnold said. “We don’t have condiments on the table. We do use our silverware, but it’s sanitized and goes through the wash cycle twice.” The restaurant location has 21 fulltime and part-time staff members, and the Arnolds said opening up at 50% capacity actually helped ease the new staff members into the rhythm of food service. “I think it’s helping our kitchen to get experience. They’re not getting hammered,” Kevin Arnold said, adding, “We’re paying the bills and all that, and it’s given us a lot of experience so when we do go to 100% capacity we’re ready to hit the ground running.” Kevin Arnold said the launch has been successful enough, even at 50% capacity, that he’s going to go forward with plans to open other locations, possibly on Johns Island or in Hanahan or Moncks Corner. He said that those plans are in the early stages but that he looks for some specific things when opening this type of business.

Tri-County Health Improvement Plan 2018-2023. “Coronavirus has unprecedentedly shifted how we operate,” said Anton Gunn, chief diversity officer for MUSC Health. The state Legislature tasked MUSC with establishing COVID-19 testing across the state. “To date, we’ve tested more than 30,000 people.” At Roper St. Francis, telehealth visits have increased 80%, according to Mark Dickson, vice president of mission. “We’ve dabbled with this becoming a permanent thing,” he said, but he noted that some physicians caution that they still need to see patients in person — at least some of the time. COVID-19 created health issues not directly associated with the coronavirus, said Renee Linyard-Gary, director of health for Trident United Way. That organization and many nonprofits across the region found themselves responding to a dramatic spike in food insecurity in the wake of the economic lockdown. “We’ve reacted on all fronts,” Linyard-Gary said. United Way established a COVID response fund that raised $600,000 to cover the surge in basic needs. “In the basic needs space at the top of the pandemic, we saw a need for food access. ... We had to pivot and offer a mobile drive-thru food drive” in Dorchester County, serving nearly 400 families rep-

resenting some 1,500 people. At the same time, hospitals have seen a dramatic drop in non-COVID requests for care. Health care officials are concerned that people have avoided seeking services for fear of catching the virus in the one place that may be the safest — the hospital, where guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are sacrosanct. While economic fragility has been an outcome of the pandemic, it is also a cause of poor health outcomes, the panelists said, along with other “social determinants,” including low educational levels, poor access to care, lack of affordable health insurance, lack of transportation, homelessness, dearth of recreational opportunities and location in a food desert. South Carolina has one of the highest rates of uninsured people in the nation, according to census data. “Access to care is the No. 1 priority because access is not just the traditional things we think about,” Linyard-Gary said. “We think about health coverage as the immediate access to care but don’t think about ... do I even have the transportation to get to service?” Gunn offered these examples of barriers to access to care that are likely foreign to most middle class families: Even if the local pharmacy is open long hours, a person who works two part-time jobs might not get home until after it closes. Or perhaps they live in Awendaw, 19 miles from

“Access to care is the No. 1 priority because access is not just the traditional things we think about.

the nearest emergency room and without bus service. “Education the key to better equity, equality and justice. If you know better you’re going to do better,” Dickson said. “We need to put more focus on that early education ... and that’s going to have longterm impacts on everything in society.” The Healthy Tri-County initiative surveyed 5,300 local individuals and determined five health priorities for the community to address: access to care; obesity, nutrition and physical activity; maternal, infant and child health; behavioral health;

and clinical preventive services. Race is also intertwined with those issues. “There are structural systemic challenges with race and racism in the American health care system,” Gunn said. He recounted his own experience when his wife went into premature labor on Christmas Day when her obstetrician was out of town. “We had a clinician who was not listening to my wife and was really dismissive of our perspective and our experience. This dismissiveness speaks to the implicit bias that some providers and some health care organizations have.” The pandemic has opened a window to better care, the panel said. Hospitals are now providing mobile testing and bringing services to underserved areas. They are addressing language barriers and lack of internet access. Gov. Henry McMaster advised residents to visit MUSC online for information, but the hospital recognized that those without internet access needed an alternative, and so it established telephonic screening. “There is so much collaboration happening that I think this is going to be a good opportunity to assess these challenges, but I want us to make sure that we don’t go backwards, that when COVID subsides and we think the crisis is behind us we don’t go back to ... the old normal, but create a new normal of collaboration, of engagement, and particularly creating equitable access in rural, underserved areas that have the highest need.” CRBJ

ou might not be able to fight city hall, but you can work in it. Sort of. The two-story building at 1079 E. Montague Ave. that served as city hall for North Charleston when it was a brand-new municipality in 1972 is on the market. The nondescript building where the city’s first mayor, John E. Bourne Jr., helped build the municipality now sits in the middle of a revitalized, historic downtown in the heart of North Charles-

ton’s Park Circle area. North Charleston was vastly different 48 years ago. The city started out much smaller than it is today, an intentional choice to make incorporating easier after two failed attempts. After successfully incorporating, the city grew by annexing the Naval Base, the Air Force Base and Charleston International Airport, going from 22,000 people to 53,000 people in one year. Today, the building where it all began can be purchased as commercial See CITY HALL, Page 17

Commercial market strong; uncertainty remains By Andy Owens

eals are still being done. Leases are still being signed in the Charleston market, but the way companies are approaching commercial real estate faces uncertainty, according to three market professionals. Reid Davis, managing principal with Lee & Associates in Charleston, said the coronavirus hasn’t stopped movement in the market, even with office space, but he predicts that as leases come up for renewal, many companies might hold back on planned expansions or scale back if they can. “There’s still a need for office, but people are being a little more efficient and maybe not needing as much,” Davis

said, adding that it also depends on the business. “You’re seeing a lot of people renewing where they are, instead of going for a big expansion. We talked to a client recently who still has growth plans, but they’re slowing down their process.” Cameron Yost, an associate at Lee & Associates, said companies also are changing how they operate, with many dumping the open floor plans that characterized much of the past 10 years and leaning toward more private spaces. She said Lee & Associates has also changed how it operates, including splitting up who comes into the office and when. The firm has also invested in technology and training to accommodate showings of commercial property when a buyer or seller isn’t comfortable traveling to a site.

“We invested in kind of doing virtual tours, video of the spaces, to let people have the experience of touring,” she said. “People have still been looking at new space, and deals are still happening.” Pete Harper of Lee & Associates said tenants in the market have been focused on medical-related real estate. He said that’s been a surprise for the market and that it’s likely to continue because of Charleston’s medical-focused assets. He said the appeal of being in the Charleston market hasn’t changed. He said people want to work close to where they live, and a major driver of Charleston’s real estate market is residential. “You’re hearing about all the flight from the big cities residentially,” Harper See MARKET, Page 16

but the outlook for retail continues to be strained and uncertain. “Retail continues to be a challenge,” he said. “There’s some bright spots, but the food and beverage industry and the COVID crisis has been very challenging. You have restaurants that are opening at 50% of revenue but still have to pay all of their expenses.”

‘The Amazon effect’

Least-affected sector

MARKET, from Page 15

Harper said that chunks of commercial space are going to be repurposed at an accelerated rate, such as Citadel Mall transforming into a medical and entertainment complex instead of retail anchors and smaller tenants. He called this “the Amazon effect,” where location still has value but for different reasons. “You know retail is always location, location, location, location, and a lot of other uses want to take advantage of location,” Harper said. He predicted that companies such as Office Max and Office Depot will struggle, but companies such as Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe’s, which already were investing heavily, are going to weather the current market. “You’re not going to see as many new deals,” Harper said. “I don’t think you’re going to see a new mall built in this country again.” Access to capital continues to be strong for commercial real estate, with interest rates at historic lows, Davis said,

Harper said industry continues to be a strong sector, and demand is expected to continue even with the port seeing a slight dip in volumes. With more than 2 million square feet of industrial space available in the Charleston market since last year, on top of 6 million square feet the previous year, the market has been responsive to the growing wave of mail-order, on-demand deliveries. “I think that while port volumes by month have been down a bit, there’s still a need for industrial, warehousing space,” he said.

Market shift

Davis said brokers at Lee & Associates often get asked where investors should put their money, and it’s not an easy question to answer. He said commercial real estate has been a landlord/seller’s market for a long time, and with some of the government programs propping up bottom lines,

some vacancies are expected. “On the commercial side, I think what was a seller’s/landlord market is going to be switched to a buyer’s market,” Davis said. “We’re still seeing a demand for leasing and sales for office space.” He said tenants can capitalize on this moment by renegotiating lease terms and finding space more affordable than might once have been considered. He said multifamily and hospitality are going to be challenging for sellers because of an oversupply. “The effect of COVID has not quite made it to Main Street commercial real estate yet,” Davis said. “I think it’s going to be a little more time before things filter through and building owners are in a position where either they’ve lost their tenants or they’ve lost their business and can’t continue to keep up.” Davis said it’s going to take a while before the market bottoms out, and the election adds another layer of uncertainty on top of the pandemic. Harper said attention must be given to the flight from the urban areas where high density has helped fuel coronavirus infection rates and a sense of space has made people want to consider a move. “I think it’s short-term,” Harper said. “Charleston has been in demand for 20 years now or longer. I think we’re going to see a huge growth in the people moving here, and growth drives commercial. I’m an optimist.” CRBJ

Real estate pros in South Carolina will undergo background checks

Staff Report

s of July, all real estate professionals in South Carolina must undergo a criminal background check for a new real estate license, the S.C. Department of Licensing, Labor and Regulation said. All first-time applicants for salesperson, broker, broker in charge or property manager in charge for licensing through the S.C. Real Estate Commission must have state and federal fingerprint criminal records checks from the State Law Enforcement Division and the FBI, the department said. This is a change to the S.C. Code of Laws, and the cost of conducting the criminal records check must be paid for by the applicant, the department said. The department said the S.C. Real Estate Commission cannot use background checks that were obtained for other reasons, such as concealed carry weapons permits or security clearances. CRBJ

property for $1.24 million or leased for $23 a square foot. The entire building is 4,420 square feet, but it could be divided in half to serve two tenants, according to Wilson Kibler Commercial Real Estate. The property is owned by Cason Development Group in Columbia. Previously, the building was occupied by Charles Towne Stained Glass, Cason said. Stained glass can still be seen on the second floor overlooking East Montague. The entire interior has been stripped to the walls and studs, said Hank Beckham, managing director of Wilson Kibler Commercial Real Estate in Charleston. He said the space could work as a restaurant, bar, retail, office or even residential depending on the tenant. “It’s really got a lot of flexibility to it,” he said. The entire East Montague Avenue retail district likely will benefit from the Garco Mill redevelopment nearby, which is expected to bring hundreds of employees and residents as it becomes a mixeduse development with office, retail and residential space. Other than memories, there’s not a lot that indicates the building was the beginning of North Charleston. A historic marker affixed to the outside of the building indicates it was the city hall for the fledgling city from 1972 to 1979.

Above: The outside of 1079 E. Montague Ave. sits in the heart of North Charleston’s Park Circle downtown area, which has become a vibrant commercial district for mixed-use development and retail. (Photos/ Wilson Kibler Commercial Real Estate) Left: Cason Development Group owns the property, which could be used as retail, restaurant, residential or office space, either with a single tenant or divided into two spaces with individual entrances.

The economy is on a roll — for now O

nce the March and April data began to unfold, it was clear that the economy had fallen into a deep recession. No one likely would have thought that the recession would be over by May and the economy would be rebounding vigorously. But that is exactly what is happening. The data for May and June are undeniable. At the end of this month, we will STEPHEN D. see a GDP decline of SLIFER roughly 50%. But we will also see — eventually — a rebound in third-quarter growth of roughly comparable magnitude. Some fear that the expansion will be short-circuited by the rapid spread of the coronavirus. Undoubtedly, some bars and restaurants will be forced to close and some will go out of business. That could reduce GDP growth in the fourth quarter, which we currently estimate at 7.0%. As soon as the government announced its $2.5 trillion in fiscal stimulus, it became clear that the recession would last no more than three or four months, or about half the length of an average recession. Instead, it lasted two months. We now know that the expansion ended in February and the recession began in March. But every economic indicator for May rebounded vigorously. A renewed expansion began. Following a decline of 1.4 million in March payroll, employment plunged by 20.8 million in April. But it rebounded by 2.7 million in May and 4.8 million in June. After stunning declines of 8.2% and 14.7% in March and April, retail sales surged by a record-breaking 17.7% in May and are poised to rise again in June. New-home sales were dented during the recession, as sales slipped from about 750,000 in January and February to 580,000 by April. But sales recovered about half of what they lost in May, hitting a 675,000 pace. A huge increase in consumer income (caused by the $1,200 stimulus checks), a shortage of available housing, and record low 3.0% mortgage rates have triggered an impressive snap-back in sales. Even the beleaguered manufacturing sector is on the mend. Led by recordsetting increases in forward-looking orders and production, the purchasing managers index climbed from a significant contraction in May (43.1) to expansion mode in June (52.6).

That is largest single-month increase since August 1980 and the highest reading for this index since May of last year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes an index of aggregate hours worked as part of the employment report. It is a gauge of the supply side of the economy. The annualized rate of decline between the first and second quarters is 50.0%, which happens to be our estimated rate of GDP contraction in the second quarter. The demand-side data — consumer spending, housing, investment spending, etc., confirm a decline of roughly that magnitude. We have estimated employment and hours worked for July, August and September, and the third-quarter average appears to be at least 35% higher than the secondquarter average. The record-breaking rebound in May was triggered by $2.5 trillion of fiscal stimulus. The U.S. economy has never experienced such dramatic swings in economic activity in a matter of months. As the economy reopens, the indomitable spirit of American citizens has reasserted itself. Growth will continue to climb and those currently without jobs will be steadily rehired. GDP may reach its pre-recession high by early next year. The unemployment rate — currently at 11.1% — is unlikely to shrink to its pre-recession low of 3.5% until 2022. There is no doubt that the number of new coronavirus cases has accelerated in the past couple of weeks. As a result, some states have paused the pace of reopening and six states have partially reversed reopening. But the situation today is completely unlike what it was in mid-April when the virus was at its peak. As of press time, nearly 40,000 people are hospitalized (1,260 of them in South Carolina), according to The COVID Tracking Project. In mid-April that figure was 59,000. The number of daily deaths has shrunk from an average of around 2,000 to about 500. By almost any metric the situation has improved considerably. There is no case for the imposition of a nationwide stay-athome order. Even if warranted, President Donald Trump will not do it. To initiate another economic collapse months before the election is not going to happen. The recession is over. The economy is rebounding and will continue to grow. CRBJ

VIEWS, PERSPECTIVES AND READERS’ LETTERS

Businesses must follow protocols to keep customers safe

ach day, we all watch as coronavirus cases reach record highs. Our alarming growth rates are generating increasing concern for our health and our economy. The tri-county region is currently experiencing a startling 8.8% increase in daily cases. According to the Medical University of South CaroliWILLIS na, we could have CANTEY over 45,000 active cases by August and our medical system could reach maximum capacity in the fall. We are quickly exhausting our grace period. Our region is rapidly approaching crisis mode. BRYAN This means all DERREBERRY patients, whether seeking medical help for the coronavirus or another reason, will be challenged in receiving the level of care they need. It is time to listen to our medical professionals and start taking the necessary precautions.

(Photo/File)

We, as a community, can change this course by acting now. We can choose to take responsibility and accountability to mitigate the rate of transmission. The future well-being of our community depends on it. The Charleston Metro Chamber urges every citizen and every business to diligently follow the four safety protocols laid out by our health professionals: always wearing a mask when in public, maintaining a 6-foot social distance, following handwashing best practices and protecting our vulnerable populations.

While practicing these protocols creates a slight inconvenience in our lives, it more importantly demonstrates our personal commitment to keep our community safe and healthy. It is a small price to pay to help protect our family, friends and neighbors from becoming critically ill. It is a simple action to help our students return to school in the fall and get us back to doing all the things we love quicker. We still need to keep our guard up. Our region is not in the clear. Taking these four simple precautions will help ensure our region can safely remain open

and our economy has the opportunity for a healthy recovery. One Region Ready has released a safetybased set of reopening guidelines, in line with accelerateSC and the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control. We ask each business to visit oneregionready.com and commit to following these safety protocols. By signing and practicing the One Region Ready Pledge, you are demonstrating to your customers, clients and employees that you care about them and are part of the recovery solution. Labels and words won’t take us down the path to beating the coronavirus: We need action. Let’s join together by personally acknowledging that our nation is facing an unprecedented pandemic. Let’s write another rich chapter in our region’s history by playing a role in bringing this pandemic to an end: washing our hands frequently, wearing a mask, practicing social distancing and respecting the health of every person. Now is our time for action. Willis Cantey Chairman of the Board Charleston Metro Chamber Bryan Derreberry President and CEO Charleston Metro Chamber

COVID-positive employees: How to communicate with stakeholders

f you are a business serving the public you know this all too well: There is no playbook for navigating COVID19. You are making decisions daily, with new information and changing circumstances. This is especially true for restaurants. In two months we’ve helped cliHEATHER ents navigate myrHOOPESMATTHEWS iad COVID-related circumstances. Let’s begin with the “newsmaker.” You’ve had an employee test positive for COVID-19. In the South, infection rates are skyrocketing. It’s likely a just matter of time before most businesses face this situation. The crucial first step is protecting the

privacy of the infected employee. This is a legal requirement. But you also must notify any other colleagues who have had close contact with that individual (think in terms of 10-12 minutes of close contact). Business leaders need to notify colleagues without revealing the identity of the infected employee. Your employee reveals his/her positive test result on social media. True situation. There is nothing you can do about it. Don’t stifle an employee’s right to share his/her personal information. But DO have a plan in place for how to communicate about COVID with your employees, guests, clients and, if needed, the media. We’ve helped clients put in place a “COVID Response Team.” Similar to a crisis response team, this nucleus of company decision-makers and subject matter experts, such as a lawyer or crisis com-

munication professional, will huddle up, assess the facts, make decisions and monitor the situation. Messaging must be honest and transparent. We can’t hide from COVID. We must face it head-on. Your No. 1 priority should be the health and safety of your employees and guests. Consider ahead of time what health and safety measures, such as deep cleaning, masks, etc., you have in place. That top health priority, and those safety measures are message points to share publicly. DO NOT reveal any information which may identify your infected employee, including describing a job duty. Be flexible, put safety first and press on. It’s possible some of you reading this article will have to temporarily close your businesses in the future to deep clean after a series of positive employee tests. Be proactive. Weigh the short-term

loss of revenue from a temporary closure against the long-term reputational harm from appearing reckless. Again, there is no playbook, you are assessing each situation, making decisions and monitoring for future modifications. About the only thing we do know is there is no telling how long this COVID storm will last. So plan now for how the virus may continue to impact your business. Be safe, stay healthy, and offer grace and patience to those navigating alongside you.
