The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has already had a deep and lasting impact throughout the United States, and especially in New York State.

Numerous businesses have been forced to shut down, or at least send much or all of their workforce home. Some employees can work remotely, others can’t.

State legislatures and Congress are addressing various health and financial issues on an emergency basis. This webinar includes updates on new laws and other legal requirements.
