Covid-19: Hospitality sector reacts to new support offering

From Morning Report, 6:13 am on 22 February 2022

The hospitality sector decimated after two years of Covid-19 describes the latest financial support being offered by the government as encouraging but too late for some to survive.

Eligible businesses will get four-thousand dollars, plus $400 for every full time employee - up to a maximum of $24,000, if they meet the criteria.

The scheme begins on March the first and will last for six weeks, although the Government says it's open to extending the time frame.
