The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is having a significant impact on every aspect of our lives.  On 17 March 2020, the Luxembourg government has declared a three-month duration of state of emergency for Luxembourg to minimise the spread of the virus, to mitigate its effects and to protect those most vulnerable in society.

CMS Ex­pert Guide to State Aid Dur­ing Coronavir­us Crisis
Any busi­ness in the world could be af­fected by the coronavir­us (COV­ID-19) pan­dem­ic.
