The situation of employees being laid off is actually getting from bad to worse. In Ireland alone, around140,000 workers laid off due to coronavirus.  The number consists of restaurant workers, pubs and bar staff and other small industries such as childcare workers. The minister of social protection has already revealed that it may take a “number of weeks” before employers are reimbursed for paying their workers @£203 per week incase the companies have to cease trading after Covid-19 measures.
