A few months ago, we asked you about how the Coronavirus pandemic was affecting your business. You joined over 215,000 small businesses in providing valuable information on how the Coronavirus pandemic has affected various business activities and geographic areas. These responses gave essential real-time data to local, state, and federal officials (such as the Small Business Administration) to aid in decision-making.

We would like to get an update on how your business is doing. We use responses from businesses like yours to summarize data for similar industries and geographic areas. Help us understand what has or has not improved.
