Coronavirus: Concern small businesses will go under

From Morning Report, 6:46 am on 25 March 2020

Yesterday Finance Minister Grant Robertson announced a $6.5 billion finance guarantee scheme for small and medium-sized businesses.

Small businesses say they still have to pay back any loans and they are facing a huge dilemma.
