KONO Coronavirus Impact Survey

Obviously, the impact of social distancing because of the coronavirus has hit businesses hard in KONO (and everywhere). 

We are asking KONO business owners to please take a moment to complete this survey so we can get a better idea of its impact in the district, and what might be done to help. It will take about ten minutes to complete and all answers are voluntary.
