They did, a friend of mine did something during that period. They are easing up on the quarantine a bit by now but it certainly helped when everything was closed down and they immediately set up a fund to pay businesses and employees who were affected. It essentially "paused" the economy instead of completely stopping it.

My girlfriend is kind of wary of it though, seems like lots of friends are more enthusiastic.
