in business/People

Stanislaus County has awarded $3.1 million in grants to help local small businesses struggling in the new coronavirus pandemic. The grants are for as much as $10,000 each and help businesses cover such expenses as rent, utilities and payroll.

The awards went to 300 small businesses and 44 independent contractors. The county received 551 applications. Businesses were not funded for such reasons as not having a business license, an address in the county and providing the required documentation.

The county is using $3 million from the $96 million it received from the roughly $2 trillion federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act as well as $150,000 from local business leaders to provide the grants.

"And I said, 'Well, what kind of condition is she in? Am I gonna be able to take care of her,'" he said. "They said, 'Well, she can transfer from bed to wheelchair with assistance.' What that they didn't say was with a lot of assistance."

in business

While Stanislaus County is still in the early stages of reopening its economy under State guidelines, the Turlock City Council adopted ordinances on Tuesday that are meant to help businesses use outdoor spaces to increase possibilities when they are allowed to open their doors once again.

The ordinances require a business to apply for a temporary outdoor operations permit. The applications will be reviewed by City Manager Toby Wells for approval. The permits can include allowing businesses to expand operations onto adjoining sidewalks or parking lots. Street closures will also be considered under the temporary permit process.

“The purpose here is to help our businesses move forward. This is not about holding anybody back rather allowing our businesses to start planning for that reopening process,” said Wells.

Turlock Man Shares Story Of Survival After 25 Days In ICU With Coronavirus

in People

TURLOCK (CBS13) — A Turlock man who was in the ICU for 25 days with coronavirus is sharing his story of survival.

April 8, 2020, was a celebratory day for Nader Ammari and his medical team at Kaiser Permanente in Modesto.

“When I saw all the nurses, doctors saluting me for the day of the discharge, it made me in tears,” Ammari said.

After being in the hospital for four weeks — three in a medically induced coma —  Ammari is now on the road to recovery and in very good spirits.

“From the day I was admitted, I don’t remember anything until the day I was awake,” Ammari said. “And the doctor they told me, it’s better you don’t remember!”

Ammari is originally from Italy but has been living and working in Turlock for three years. He and his family traveled back to Venice in February for a funeral. One week after flying home, he was notified someone on his flight had tested positive for COVID-19. His symptoms including fatigue, high temperature, and difficult breathing, began shortly thereafter.

What exactly that will mean for residents and businesses remains to be seen.

The new public health order that went into effect on Tuesday, rescinded the stay at home order for residents with a few exceptions. The public health order for self-quarantining if you have come into contact with someone diagnosed or suspected of having COVID-19 and the order for self-isolation if you have been diagnosed or likely have COVID-19 both remain in effect.
