Coronavirus: UK government unveils aid for self-employed - BBC News

Self-employed workers will be able to apply for a grant of up to £2,500 a month to help them cope with the financial impact of coronavirus, the chancellor has announced. The money will be paid in a single lump sum, but will not begin to arrive until the start of June at the earliest. Rishi Sunak told the self-employed: "You have not been forgotten." Plans for 80% wage subsidies for staff kept on by employers were announced last week. The chancellor spoke after the total number of people in the UK to die with Covid-19, the disease caused by coronavirus, reached 475. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
