Treasure Covid 19 Update July 13 2020

Florida is shattering a national coronavirus record, reporting more than 15-thousand new cases. The death toll rose by 45.

South Florida restaurant owners, struggling amid the pandemic, are calling on Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott to pass the Restaurants Act.

The bill, dubbed the Real Economic Support that Acknowledges Unique Restaurant Assistance Needed to Survive Act, or Restaurant Act, would provide grants to restaurants that are not publicly traded and have $1.5 million or less in revenue under normal circumstances.

The grant can be used to cover payroll, benefits, mortgage, rent, protective equipment, food, or other costs. It provides an addition or substitute to loans provided through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which Congress passed in the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package in March, for restaurants to spend more on overhead costs, as well as payroll.
