However, most businesses and charities have not purchased insurance that covers losses from COVID-19.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that businesses and charities who do not have appropriate insurance cover will require support from elsewhere. As such, they should explore the full package of support set out by the Chancellor in the Budget, on 17 March, and on 20 March.</p><p> </p><p>As the Chancellor announced on Tuesday 17 March, the Government will do whatever it takes to get our nation through the impacts of COVID-19.</p><p> </p>
