Response to COVID-19: Support Seattle's Chinatown and Local Restaurants
As misinformation and racism about Coronavirus spread globally, local businesses, especially in Seattle's Chinatown, are feeling the impact. As we navigate this pandemic with many workplaces moving towards telecommuting, consider working to support local businesses. That can be done by taking take out, getting a coffee while practicing good hygiene and social distancing at the same time. Many businesses, especially restaurants and coffee shops are responding and changing their process of how they sanitize their businesses, including wiping down communal touching spots hourly.
