I have received a lot of calls from small businesses about the government's announcement that it would close all non-essential businesses as of April 1. In fact, the government meant that small businesses classified as non-essential could no longer have their store operations open to the public, but such businesses can stay open to operate on line and to deliver goods through curbside pickups, home delivery or drop box delivery.
