Re: The Corona Crisis gets real (none / 1)
Escalations today include:
  1. Closure of all pubs and hotel bars. Restaurants to practice "social distancing"
  2. Request by government to employers of 50,000 workers laid off by above measure to keep paying them at least the minimum social welfare rate (c. €203 per week) immediately and the government will reimburse asap.
  3. It is estimated that a total of 110,000 workers have been laid off so far. The government has announced simplified procedures for applying for unemployment benefits that avoid a need for physical presence and queueing at social welfare offices.
