What are the key differences between cloth face coverings, surgical masks, and respirators?

As an increasing number of businesses begin to require face coverings in their facilities —whether as a result of a local legal mandate or in the interest of public safety — there has been a corresponding increase in the number of well-publicized reports of customers and guests reacting in a belligerent, hostile or even violent manner after being asked to comply with mask rules. What should your business do to minimize the chances of such an incident occurring in your workplace, and what should you do if an anti-mask guest disrupts your business? Here is a five-step plan to address this unfortunate part of our new reality.

The Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (or CVRP) is California’s main consumer rebate offering for the purchase or lease of a battery electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). Not only does the CVRP offer rebates, but we have a whole team dedicated to supporting you, the dealers.

By definition, associations consist of people or businesses that share common problems, needs and goals. They work together to find solutions, meet those needs, and provide valuable resources to enhance members’ success. From time to time, we hear from dealers that they were unaware of some valuable resources available to them as an NCDA member. As such, we thought we’d dedicate an issue of San Diego Dealer Magazine to highlight the breadth of valuable benefits available to dealers so that they can take advantage of all of them.

California is eight months into a pandemic that has changed the world as we know it. Tragically, lives have been lost, social unrest has surged, and businesses have been forced to make radical changes to remain operational. The year 2020 will certainly be a year we look back upon as uniquely challenging. Fortunately, we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel as schools restart, and the economy regains traction.
