Abstract: The government had circumscribed all the economic activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, this had a major impact on the self-employed. Using a structured questionnaire, this study intends to explore how self-employed people are rescued from detrimental situations. This is to assess the early impact of COVID-19 on self-employed people and their working hours. Most of these economic ventures operate on the borders between the formal and informal sectors. Those working in these sectors have generally been excluded from the discussion about the economic impact of this pandemic. This present study emphasised the after-effects of COVID-19 and how the self-employed community was rescued with or without government aid.
