COVID-19 Information
By now the impact of the Corona virus and COVID-19 disease is being felt all across our nation. The President and Governor have implored citizens to stay home when possible, and at least 6 feet away from each other when we must go outdoors, in an effort to slow the progress of the pandemic here at home.
The travel, sports, hospitality, arts, entertainment and amusement industries have ground to a halt, impacting millions of workers.
We in the Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism & Internet Media wish to do our part to help our stakeholders and friends through this emergency, and to fully recover when we come out of it. We know this is a unique time in our history, and we would like to offer you the following resources:
