The Antivirus Programme is considered one of the most successful and best performing support programmes that the government introduced during the pandemic. According to statistics published by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs at the end of December, the number of supported companies exceeded 65 thousand and the total amount of provided support amounted to almost CZK 25 billion. However, some employers have ascertained that they will have to refund the aid already received under the programme even though they did not abuse the programme in any way and paid all relevant payments and mandatory premiums within the statutory deadlines.
