Enterprise schemes to run for two more weeks
Government will continue to pay out Covid support for businesses until 14 May.
Two schemes run by the Department for Enterprise have been extended.
These include a grant payment of £3,500 for businesses and the self-employed who've lost 25 per cent or more of turnover due to the last lockdown.
It also covers a scheme for commercial premises which pays out support equivalent to an annual rates bill.
The offer of a one-off £250 payment, for those affected by government's Covid advice on 27 and 28 February, has also been extended.
