The City of Atlanta has published a slew of new information related to Wednesday’s shelter-in-place order and the broader fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, including loan assistance for businesses and health handouts published in more than 20 languages.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, which runs the Welcoming Atlanta program, forwarded the compilation of multilingual health resources to the Mayor’s Office of International Affairs to be disseminated to consulates, cities, counties and beyond:
