The Labour Party will today launch a bill to improve paid statutory leave and forced parental leave to address issues brought up by Covid-19.

It follows concern parents are being forced to stay home and mind their kids when a school or early years provider's forced to close due Covid-19.

There are also fears some people haven't come forward for testing because they're worried about losing out on wages.

Labour leader Alan Kelly says people shouldn't lose out financially if they're impacted by Covid.
