COVID-19 Information from the CLA – March 20, 2020
The Coin Laundry Association has continued to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation across the country. Please visit our COVID-19 resource article for other information including helpful resources and downloads.
We hope that you’re well and that your family is doing well. The CLA staff has been busy all week fielding many calls and emails, and we’re doing our level best to answer all questions. Our number one objective has been to work with states across America to keep laundromats on the essential-business list. As you are probably aware, a number of states are considering, or have executed, more restrictions and the general public.
