Rights of the employee terminated on probation due to COVID-19
I understand the issues employers face due to COVID-19. I have entered on a residence entry permit visa end of February.
Last month, I was given a partial-paid leave and the employment contract was terminated on Thursday with immediate effect as I'm on a probation period
I was told that the visa shall be cancelled as it will be expired in a couple of days.
What are my rights? And where does it leave me with regards to immigration status?

The new rules for COVID-19 are effective from 26th March 2020. So, you will get the benefit of the housing as long as COVID exists.
The Company will have to upload your CV in the online labour market. Also, contact immigration as last week there ware news that all visas will continue until the end of the year.
