For any business that has been impacted by the coronavirus outbreak, in order to be eligible for assistance from the SBA, the governor of the state or territory your business is located in has to request that the SBA make an Economic Injury Disaster Loan declaration for the county where your business is.
Once that coordination between the governor of the area and the SBA is coordinated, the SBA has said it will make available information on the loan application process to “all affected communities” and also at SBA.gov/disaster .
Usually, applications for loans in declared disaster areas are found here: https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/
When I looked, I didn’t see any areas designated under the COVID-19 program as of yet.
One thing you can do in the meantime is reach out to your governor and other elected officials to let them know your business is hoping to apply for this assistance.
There’s a lot more information on the SBA loans for the coronavirus outbreak here: https://www.zenefits.com/workest/how-do-i-apply-for-the-coronavirus-small-business-loan/
I hope this helps.
