Government has once again issued the parent benefit scheme for parents affected by the closure of schools due to COVID-19.
The scheme will be available for parents of children younger than 16-years-old, and will run from 15 March to 11 April. The scheme can be extended if the COVID-19 situation persists.
Parents who work in the private sector, but not with a private company, and parents who work in essential services with the government can apply for the scheme.
