The Government this week agreed to extend two measures which were brought in to help businesses during the pandemic.
The COVID-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGS) will now stay open for new applications until the 30 June 2021. The suspension of redundancy provisions relating to temporary lay-off and short-time work, which arose as a result of COVID-19, will be extended until 31 March 2021. The Government also agreed to fund outstanding applications to the now closed Restart Grant Plus Scheme.
