The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has forced many local Chicago businesses to close their doors for an indeterminate amount of time, leaving owners wondering how they are going to deal with the loss of revenue and, in some cases, even how to survive.

This Alert, written by Anthony Zeoli, details how to apply for the fund.
