The rapid spread of COVID-19 has had far ranging consequences for businesses. With social distancing practices in place, businesses of all sizes are being forced to adapt to a rapidly changing marketplace that moves beyond traditional face-to-face interactions. While this certainly creates dynamic challenges for businesses, tech companies are providing solutions by creating new technologies, expanding access to already existing technologies, and even offering financial assistance. Below are some of the resources that can help businesses continue to function in this time of uncertainty:
While these resources can help businesses stay open and connected, it is imperative that companies also stay up to date on the evolving state of local conditions, particularly as the state government and local authorities impose new regulations on social gatherings and businesses. In addition to the Georgia Department of Public Health’s website, which is updated frequently with useful COVID-19 information, and the department’s daily status report, the tech community is working to ensure that accurate and truthful information is available to business owners in real-time through programs like Google’s SOS Alert. This tool connects people with the latest news, safety tips, and links to information from the World Health Organization (WHO).
