Britain unveils €5bn in extra business support amid third lockdown
Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak has previously announced emergency help for the economy worth £280bn, including a massive job protection scheme that will run until the end of April.
Britain has offered a £4.6bn (€5.1bn) support package for businesses to soften an expected recession caused by a surge in Covid-19 cases that has triggered a third national lockdown.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the lockdown this week, saying a highly contagious coronavirus variant risked overwhelming the health service within 21 days.
