That's real helpful stuff, that "Kurzarbeitergeld" helped Germany already through the financial crisis in 2008 and is being re-instated now again too....it would work well for the poorer EU members too!
It means workers get paid even as the companies they work for have to shut down for awhile during the crisis. Meaning they keep their jobs, and the companies can start again at full power once the crisis is over. Not to mention that the people can survive this time and have enough money to keep consuming, kick start the economy immediately afterwards again.
A large scale impoverishment and unemployment is avoided!

"It is intended to help Italy, Spain and all other countries that have been hard hit. And it will do so thanks to the solidarity of other member states," she said. ...."
