Businesses affected by New Zealand’s Covid-19 lockdown can now apply for a one-off Government payment to help cover costs.
Finance Minister Grant Robertson said the Covid-19 Resurgence Support Payment (RSP) was intended to help businesses with costs such as rent or fixed costs during higher alert levels.
To qualify applicants must experience at least a 30 per cent decline in revenue over seven days as a result of the increase in alert levels, as well as other eligibility criteria.
