16/4 Aegis Daily Update

In recent weeks, we have seen the significant economic impact of the coronavirus. This affects many workers, typically the least well-paid, the self-employed and those working in the gig economy or with zero-hours contracts. Whilst the Government has announced economic measures to safeguard jobs, guarantee wages and support the self-employed, it's still not always clear how these measures will be implemented and how people will manage a loss of income in the short-term.
