• Your company's expenses for the eight-week period after the origination of the loan will be analyzed.
• Every dollar your company spent on payroll, utilities, rent, or interest on mortgage debt will be added together. That amount will be forgiven, up to the total amount your company borrowed through the program.
• There is one caveat, however. The amount that is forgiven will be reduced for businesses that lay off employees during the first eight weeks following the loan. Companies that reduce wages of employees who make less than $100,000 per year by 25 percent or more will also have the forgivable amount reduced.

• LONG SLEEVE LAB COATS: We asked Dr. Michael Edmond, MD, MPH, MPA, MBA - author of this article on Kevinmd -- what he thought about white coats being worn during this time. Dr. Edmond is Clinical Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. His response: "We don't have data that bare-below-the-elbows reduces infections, but we have biologic plausibility. Numerous studies have shown that clothing becomes contaminated at work. Sleeve cuffs are particularly at risk since they touch the patient and the patient's environment and cannot be decontaminated between patients. Studies in simulation labs show that provider clothes inoculated with bacteria or viruses, followed by a physical exam performed on a mannequin, result in transfer of microorganism to the mannequin, and vice versa. Moreover, studies show that white coats are infrequently laundered. Putting all of that together, it is simply common sense to get rid of them, particularly now."
• FACE SHIELDS: The latest post on Dr. Edmond's blog, Controversies in Hospital Infection Prevention, gives physicians the lowdown on face shields and best practices surrounding them. He even posted a short Youtube video showing how to wear and clean a face shield.
