A hefty number of retailers, 77%, are fearful the ongoing Delta coronavirus variant spread will hurt recovery and it's a fear 76% of all small business operators have.

Those figures come from an Alignable Research Center survey that polled 5,164 SMB operators, according to a press release.

The main worries are potential closures and shutdowns similar to what occurred at COVID-19 initial appearance in the U.S. in the spring of 2020.
