A late February medical conference at the Marriott Long Wharf in Boston was labeled a "super spreader," where attendees unknowingly contracted the virus and later passed it on upon returning to homes in states like Tennessee and North Carolina.

As states ordered restaurants and bars to close up shop to prevent further outbreak, on-premise operators were left with limited or no income. These restrictions have left many entities wondering how they are going to pay mortgages, lines of credit, business loans, rent and other obligations for an extended period.
