Bettel and Lenert provided an update on Luxembourg's COVID-19 measures following today's government council meeting, and answered questions from journalists. As always, we provided a live video stream and ticker translations.

This followed yesterday's press conference by Minister of Labour Dan Kersch, who explained that the state has unblocked €370 million to cover advances of short-time working schemes for companies. Almost 10,000 companies successfully applied for the financial aid - around 180,000 salaries were paid by the state.
