France says more than 10 million workers have signed up for temporary unemployment scheme

The scheme was introduced by the government to help avoid mass layoffs, allowing for companies - specifically smaller ones - to temporarily put staff on reduced hours while the government pays all or most of their wages during this period.

 

This already accounts for quite a significant portion of the French government's stimulus package, so it'll be interesting to see if they need to add more in due time.
