NEWS MEDIA ALLIANCE – 19/03/2020
March 19 – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday sent a letter to President Trump requesting that news publishers and news delivery services — along with other vital businesses like pharmacies, grocery stores, mail delivery, etc. — be considered “essential” during this ongoing public health crisis. The Chamber asked that the Trump Administration provide guidance to state and local governments issuing shelter-in-place or other virus reduction orders to include these businesses as “essential” and allow them to continue operation, provided they take safety precautions.
