The Loudoun Chamber is encouraging businesses to adopt their own reopening strategies that align with the Governor’s multi-phase approach.
To address this need, the Loudoun Chamber has launched the “Loudoun: Open For Business” Task Force and developed a tool kit for reopening. The tool kit offers best practices and guidance for business owners as they create their own unique plan.
“The Loudoun Chamber recognizes the significant challenges that Governor Northam and regional leaders face in controlling and eradicating the COVID-19 pandemic. We also know that many of our local workers and businesses are suffering greatly, as unemployment reaches all-time highs and many companies have seen their revenues fall dramatically,” said Loudoun Chamber President & CEO, Tony Howard in a press release. “For some, the ultimate reopening date cannot come soon enough.”
The tool kit focuses on four essential areas that nearly every business must address: protecting their business, workplace and employees, while effectively communicating their plans to their customers and public at large.
This toolkit includes trusted information from the Center for Disease Prevent and Control (CDC), the White House, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and from the private sector organizations, such as The National Restaurant Association and the US Chamber of Commerce.
“The Loudoun business community is eager not just to enter Phase One reopening, but to get past this crisis and reopen in full. To do so, we need clarity and consistency from our government leaders on the challenges we face and the guidelines required to get back to normal business operations while effectively keeping our workforce, our customers, our suppliers and all visitors safe. That is what a well-thought out reopening plan can do for,” Howard added.
