Here’s a roundup of some of Wednesday’s coronavirus-related news:
Media: Voice Media Group, the Denver-based parent company of Westword and alt-weeklies in other states, has cut employee salaries and warned that layoffs likely will happen, according to an internal email tweeted by a union representing staff at some publications. The email said pay is being reduced 25% to 35% companywide. Westword doesn’t charge to read its news but recently started a membership program.
Food hall: Milk Market, in partnership with Colorado Springs-based Shamrock Foods, will launch a small grocery store stocked with toilet paper, bottled water and food, and more this weekend at 1800 Wazee St., founder and chef Frank Bonanno said on Facebook. Some restaurants within Milk Market will offer meals to go.

It’s very sad to hear. Now many companies are closed. The company where I work, just closed for quarantine. And we are working online. I hope that the situation will improve soon.
