In response to the growing public health concern over the COVID-19 virus, the Maryland Chamber of Commerce has compiled resources to help keep our members and the Maryland business community informed.
COVID-19 | Maryland Chamber of Commerce Resources for Employers
The Maryland Chamber of Commerce remains dedicated to supporting our state’s business community throughout the COVID-19 crisis. There continues to be an overwhelming amount of information being circulated about the virus and its public health and economic impact. We are working diligently to compile resources from various subject matter experts and convey them in real time.
Below you will find a comprehensive overview of resources developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the State of Maryland and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to just name a few. Our goal is to ensure that you and your employees have the information necessary both to prevent the spread of the virus, but also to maintain continuity of operations during this unpredictable time.
As we continue to weather the storm of an unprecedented health crisis and economic shutdown, my thoughts and prayers are with all of those who are suffering from the virus, as well as members of the business community who are suffering financially. My hope is that, with the economic assistance being offered at the state and federal levels, all businesses can reopen their doors as soon as it is safe to do so.
Sincerely,
