In addition to its serious impact on human health, the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis is dramatically reshaping communities and businesses. (Visit coronavirus.gov for additional information about the health aspects of this crisis.) International Carwash Association has created a page at www.carwash.org/sharing to serve as a clearinghouse of ideas for car wash professionals to navigate through these challenging times.

The page includes details on enhancing safety measures, managing employees and talent whether you remain open or closed, restrictions on business operations, and federal and state resources for small businesses. ICA plans to update the page often to keep the content fresh and relevant as the situation evolves.

In this rapidly changing environment, every business owner should observe the guidance issued by public health and/or governmental officials, and consult with their own professional advisors, prior to determining what ideas they may choose to implement in their own business. While the content on this page should be taken as neither advice nor recommendation, the ICA team hopes it will be useful to businesses navigating this unprecedented situation.

If you have additional suggestions, please share them with us at info@carwash.org.
