The worst appears to be over, yet for some, the aftereffects still lingering. Even yet today, many people and businesses still suffer from the physical, emotional and financial impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic (&#8220;COVID&#8221;) crisis. The good news is that there are still grants available to assist with COVID-related concerns. On March 19, 2020, The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7405141\/#:~:text=The%20first%20statewide%20order%20in,%2C%20%26%20Dave%2C%202020).\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first statewide lockdown <\/a>occurred in California. Lockdowns in many other states and cities soon followed. Some states and cities had long-term lockdowns. Others soon went back to business as usual. Certain restrictions, whether government-mandated or self-imposed, have had a long-lasting impact even after the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Permanent Impact of COVID&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are people who are suffering permanent damage and chronic illness as a result of COVID infections. Some may not ever be able to return to their previous jobs. As we know, hit especially hard were the restaurant and theater industries. Some businesses were forced to shut down permanently. Though again operating, many now struggle to succeed. For instance, some busy downtown office areas have turned into &#8216;ghost towns. Now that restrictions have eased, some leaseholders broke their leases and have either moved to other regions or are maintaining a largely remote workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Workforce Side Effects<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another side effect of the pandemic was that many older workers retired early. People with serious health conditions also left the workforce. In many instances, parents lacking childcare options were forced to leave their jobs in order to stay home with their children. Some industries are still struggling with limited workforce issues.&nbsp; According to Brookings Metro, as of August 2022, as many as 4 million people had not returned to work due to the effects of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/new-data-shows-long-covid-is-keeping-as-many-as-4-million-people-out-of-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;long Cov<\/a>i<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/new-data-shows-long-covid-is-keeping-as-many-as-4-million-people-out-of-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">d&#8221;<\/a> (lingering, debilitating health conditions as a result of Covid infection).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5 COVID Grants<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\">GrantWatch<\/a>, help is still available for those impacted by the Coronavirus.
