Will the startups that have either furloughed employees or laid them off still qualify?

Startups that have furloughed or laid off employees can qualify by re-hiring them since the CARES Act states “Businesses must maintain the same number of employees (equivalents) from February 15, 2020 through June 30,2020 as it did during either the same period in 2019, or from January 1, 2020 until February 15, 2020.
