The COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Effect On Association Collections

Since the early days in March 2020, the discussion during the COVID-19 pandemic has been about, among other related issues, Stay at Home Executive Orders, closing and then opening businesses, flattening the curve, wearing masks and social distancing.
