“No Crystal Ball Needed: Keeping America Safe & Open” will focus on
helping mitigate a resurgence of COVID-19, including recommendations
for keeping Americans safe andhealthy and measures to keep the
economy open for business. With cases rising in statesacross the country,
we are at a pivotal moment in our nation’s fight against the pandemic,and
this event will rally, inform, and arm business leaders to lead the charge in
their respective communities.  

When COVID-19 first arrived in the U.S., communities were forced to
resort to drastic measures and sweeping economic shutdowns, as they
unpacked medical data and recommendations in real time. Today, we
as a nation have made significant progressin learning how to slow the
spread and keep the economy going while keeping America safe and
healthy.  

Across the event, we will discuss lessons learned from Europe as well
as communities across the U.S. that have successfully adapted their
government and business models to meet the challenge of the pandemic.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce will also share best practices for slowing
the spread, while helping businesses remain operational andkeep their
customers and employees safe. This framework will provide actionable
steps businesses and communities can take to tailor prevention measures
to their needs, ideally avoiding the total shutdowns we experienced earlier
this year.
