On today's edition of Coronavirus Q&A, Jeff Caplan is joined by Derek Miller, President and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce as well as Heather Barnam, with the Utah State Coronavirus Task Force. The questions they answer are as follows:

1 - Are Utah businesses getting the help they need from the Small Business Administration and the Payment Protection Program? (1:10)

2 - Why doesn't the state report current numbers, as opposed to how many have been tested? (6:05)

5 - For a single-person business, is it more advisable to apply for a PPP (paycheck protection) or an EIDL (emergency disaster loan)? (16:00)

6 - What data is driving the continued closures and social distancing? (18:00)

7 -  Is the government addressing whether or not customers will feel safe, once the doors are open again? (23:30)
