NAHCC Urges Members, Businesses Leaders, and Community to Follow COVID-19 Protocols to Flatten the Curve, Get Vaccinated
|

- Alarming rate of Delta breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people, increased transmission and other variants, present a serious treat to our economic reactivation
- Gaps in COVID-19 vaccination for Hispanic residents and minority communities working essential jobs can accelerate once again the spread of the virus
- NAHCC encourages mask wearing by vaccinated and non-vaccinated people to help reduce the risk of breakthrough infections
- NAHCC urges businesses to implement measures to protect both employees and customers

The Nashville Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (NAHCC), Tennessee's oldest, longest running non-profit Hispanic business association, urges members, businesses and community, to implement and follow strict COVID-19 protocols to help with flattening the curve caused by Delta variant breakthrough cases. As medical evidence indicates, and as per CDC recommendations, wearing a mask at places where it is not possible to maintain social distancing helps with mitigating, and is key to preventing the spread of COVID-19.
We encourage members and the business community to create the safest possible environment for customers and employees by requiring mask wearing, social distancing, and by placing the appropriate signage to help slow the spread of the virus in our community.
“I urge our government leaders and entrepreneurs to lead by example in order to protect our local businesses and community by encouraging both vaccination and wearing not just a face covering but, if at all possible, a medical grade N95 mask when social distancing is not an option. The future of our economic recovery is in our hands now. If we all team up and do our part by following strict COVID-19 protocols, we will slow the spread of the virus, avoiding unnecessary casualties and keeping everyone safe and in good health”, says Yuri Cunza, President and CEO, Nashville Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

he United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) will host its 2021 National Conference this year in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 26-28, 2021. The event is the largest gathering of its kind in the Hispanic community and serves as the meeting ground for thousands of community leaders and advocates; elected and appointed officials; our national network of more than 260 affiliated Hispanic Chambers of Commerce; members of the corporate, philanthropic, and academic communities; entrepreneurs; college students and more. This will be the 42nd Annual USHCC National Conference.
This will be the first time in the USHCC’s 42-year history as a national small business association advocating for Hispanic-owned businesses that the Annual National Conference will be held in the Silver State. While Latinos comprise 18.3 percent of the U.S. population, Latinos are responsible for 78 percent of the growth of the U.S. labor force since 2008, according to a recent report from the Latino Donor Collaborative.
"The State of Nevada is eager to welcome the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's National Conference this September. Nevada has worked hard throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure we reopened safely and responsibly - with strong protections in place for workers and visitors. In Nevada, our diverse culture and community is our strength, and I am glad that the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce recognizes that and is bringing thousands of Hispanic leaders to the Silver State," said Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak.
