The borrower is self-employed and has no employees; or 2. Did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25% and did not reduce the number of hours of their employees; or 3. Experienced reductions in business activity as a result of health directives related to COVID-19 and did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%.
