Stores of all kinds — from restaurants, cafes and bars to gyms and bodegas — were closed until further notice. For a city that never sleeps, the lethargy felt out of place. But it has become the new normal in the age of the coronavirus, which has wreaked havoc on local New York businesses as customers have stayed home out of fear and lawmakers have shut entire sectors of the city's economy to halt its spread. —Lorie Konish, Annie Nova, Greg Iacurci

1:41 pm: Joe Biden urges 'every CEO in America' to commit to no stock buybacks for a year

The suggestion by the Democratic presidential front-runner appears to go even further — to all public companies.

12:21 pm: Panicked wealthy are fleeing to the Hamptons and Hudson Valley

Wealthy New Yorkers fleeing the city are driving up the prices of rentals in the Hamptons and Hudson Valley, with rates more than tripling for some properties. As New York imposes strict stay-home guidelines and the number of coronavirus cases skyrockets, New Yorkers who can afford it are decamping to more rural locales. Brokers say they're getting barraged with calls from families wanting rentals immediately, some for two weeks, some for up to a year. "This is unprecedented," said Delyse Berry, of Upstate Down, a Hudson Valley real estate advisory and management firm. "It's like a panic. I have never placed so many people in rentals in one week, and at these prices, ever. Even in the summer." —Robert Frank

11:58 am: Retailers grapple with closed stores and coronavirus

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, dozens of retailers, big and small, have said their stores will temporarily go dark through at least the end of the month, likely choosing that initial time frame because they have already paid March rent in full. The list includes everyone from Nike and Apple to start-ups Allbirds and Glossier. The consequences of still having to pay rent on a location that is not in business could deal a huge blow to some retailers that are already strained for cash. Typically, rent is one of a retailer's biggest expense items. Couple that with the fact that many retailers' sales are about to shrink drastically, so long as consumers are holed up and home and stocking up on groceries and household essentials, not discretionary items like shoes and shirts. The closures raise a huge question. In some of these instances, stores are closing as the shopping mall itself remains open for business, per the landlord's decision. Retailers are left wondering: Do we still have to pay? —Lauren Thomas

A top aide to Vice President Mike Pence, who leads the White House's response to the coronavirus pandemic, said that California's sweeping order for residents to stay at home should not necessarily be copied by other states. Marc Short, Pence's chief of staff, was asked on CNBC's "Squawk Box" whether California's decision, issued Thursday evening by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, will soon be copied by most other states. Short said that since three states — California, Washington and New York — comprise more than half of all confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S., Newsom's order may not become "a one-size-fits-all policy." —Kevin Breuninger

The continued spread of COVID-19 is forcing millions of Americans to work from home. As many workers shift to a new reality, they and their managers may be concerned about staying as productive as possible. Although it may be tempting to slack off work when stuck inside the comfort of your home, proceed with caution — your boss could be watching.

The company surveyed 239 large corporations. CNBC's Make It details some of the ways employers may be keeping tabs on you. —Karina Hernandez

JPMorgan Chase said it was giving bank tellers and other "front-line employees" a one-time bonus of up to $1,000 to help cushion the difficulties of working during the coronavirus pandemic. "Many of our front line employees in our branches, operations and call centers, and other key sites who continue to go into their office or branch each day face particular challenges related to issues like childcare and transportation," the bank said in a Friday memo to employees. "To help them meet these challenges and to recognize their ongoing commitment to our customers, clients, and communities, we will make a one-time COVID-19 special payment equal to a maximum of US$1,000 (not to exceed 10% of salary/regular pay or fixed pay in certain countries)." —Hugh Son

Coca-Cola on Friday said that it does not expect to meet its outlook for 2020 due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Around the world, sporting events and concerts have been canceled, movie theaters and restaurants have been closed, and people are working from home. Those initiatives to promote social distancing, along with currency fluctuations, are expected to hit Coke's business, according to a regulatory filing. Coke previously forecast that 2020 organic revenue would grow by 5% and adjusted earnings per share would increase by 7% to $2.25. Coke said it cannot estimate the blow to its business at this time, although it "could be material." The company said that it expects to provide an update when it reports its first-quarter earnings. —Amelia Lucas

9:22 am: Hopes are high for a treatment, which could come much quicker than a vaccine

Scientists around the globe are racing to develop tests, treatments, and vaccines to combat the COVID-19 disease. Near term, tests are the priority. Beyond testing, regulators are trying to get treatments approved as quickly and safely as possible to serve as a bridge to a vaccine, which is likely to take 12 months, according to the U.S. FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn. Health-care experts broadly agree that a treatment is likely to come before a vaccine. "If a good treatment emerges, whatever it is, we expect regulators to prioritize expeditious review," Laura Sutcliffe, a UBS health-care analyst said in a research note. —Julianna Tatelbaum

9:15 am: How one elite New York medical provider got its patients tested

As U.S. authorities scrambled to ramp up the nation's capacity to test for coronavirus last week, at least 100 executives and other New Yorkers of means had easy access to testing, according to two sources familiar with the activities of a little-known medical service catering to the affluent. These people paid a $5,000-a-year membership fee for a medical concierge service in New York City called Sollis Health, which worked with Enzo Clinical Labs Inc to test its members for COVID-19, according to the sources. The arrangement gave members, which include people in finance, entertainment, advertising, and media industries, access to the tests at home at a time New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the state had the capacity to test just a few hundred patients a day.

China's economy is beginning to show some signs of normalization following the full-blown shock caused by the coronavirus, but stark risks remain, International Monetary Fund officials said in a blog on the economic impact of the pandemic. Most larger Chinese firms have reopened and many local employees have returned to work, but infections could rise again as national and international travel resumes, the IMF officials said. Outbreaks in other countries and financial market gyrations could make consumers and firms wary of Chinese goods just as the economy is getting back to work, they said. —Reuters

7:43 am: Upcoming job losses will be unlike anything the US has ever seen

When the damage the coronavirus inflicts on the U.S. jobs market becomes clearer, it could be unlike anything the country has ever seen. Judging by a host of forecasts from economists, the avalanche of furloughs will easily break the record for most in a single month. Upcoming weekly jobless claims will shatter the standards set even during the worst points of the financial crisis and the early-1980s recession. Those numbers are expected to be bad, in fact, that the Trump administration, according to several media reports, has asked state officials to delay releasing precise counts. While the headline unemployment rate is highly unlikely to approach the 24.9% during the Great Depression, it very well could be the highest in almost 40 years, something unthinkable for a jobs market that had been on fire as recently as February. —Jeff Cox

7:30 am: AT&T hits the brakes on share buyback plan

AT&T just canceled plans to repurchase $4 billion of its own shares, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The company made the move to "focus on continued investment in serving our customers, taking care of our employees and enhancing our network, including nationwide 5G," according to the filing. The news follows several days of public outcry from President Donald Trump and several high-profile investors, including Mark Cuban, who said companies that have received government bailouts should not be allowed to buy back their own shares.

Deutsche Bank has warned COVID-19 might significantly impact its ability to meet its financial targets this year. "While it is too early to predict the impacts on business or the bank's financial targets that the expanding pandemic, and the governmental responses to it, may have, the bank may be materially adversely affected by a protracted downturn in local, regional or global economic conditions," the bank said in a statement published Friday. "Given the uncertainty around extent, duration and market spillover of COVID 19, forward-looking assumptions do not currently consider any of its potential impacts," it added. —Sam Meredith
