Close to 130-thousand businesses have applied for this lockdown's wage subsidy scheme.
More than 484-million dollars has been paid out so far.
Applications for Resurgence Support Payments are also now open -- a one-off payment to help with rent and fixed costs.
Employers and Manufacturers Association advocacy and strategy head Alan McDonald says the Government swung into action quickly.
