COVID-19: Government Financial Support for Businesses

Resurgence Support Payment

Criteria: If you experience a 30% drop in revenue over a 7 day period after an alert level increase and meet other eligibility criteria. This drop is compared to a typical 7 day period in the 6 weeks before the increase in alert level.
