CORONAVIRUS RESOURCES FOR DEALERS

With the world facing a global pandemic of COVID-19, also known as the 2019 novel coronavirus or just “the coronavirus,” dealers are calling the Association’s hotline with questions on how they should prepare and respond to a variety of scenarios this crisis has brought about.
