The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has worked to provide Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance to eligible organizations to help ease the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the incidence of COVID-19 (COVID-19) on small businesses, nonprofits and other entities. These organizations are experiencing unexpected decreases in cash flow due to the \\u201cshelter-in-place\\u201d orders enacted by many municipalities. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and SBA intend to provide loans with decreased interest rates and forgiveness plans to assist organizations as they continue operating during this challenging time.
