The hotline 8002 8080 set up in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak now offers multilingual psychological support, seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. In a period of containment linked to the COVID-19 epidemic, many people in crisis, anxiety or discomfort find themselves alone facing their questions and uncertainties. This telephone psychological support service is therefore offered to all those who feel the need. It is operated by highly qualified teams prepared to guide a person in distress, by teleconsultation.
On 21 March 2020, the Luxembourg Government de-clared a state of emergency (état de crise) for a period of up to three months based on article 32 (4) of the Luxembourg Constitution, enabling it and the CSSF to enact some temporary measures to facilitate the continuance of business of Luxembourg investment funds, management companies and alternative investment fund managers.
In response to the economic challenges arising from the coronavirus crisis, the Luxembourg Government has set up an economic support package. The exceptional and extraordinary measures included are worth nearly €9 billion, or roughly 15% of GDP. This is the largest amount of economic aid ever mobilised in Luxembourg to help businesses and their employees get through difficult times. In response to the emergency, the economic support package addresses all businesses: small merchants, SMEs and self-employed people. Many of the governmental support measures are also suitable for startups. We will in the coming days offer a series of webinars about these support measures. Further details about the agenda and registration links will be available soon. For further information, please contact start@luxinnovation.lu.
