I think it will be possible. There is a great difference between applications and the drawdown and payment of grants. They can make applications and no doubt the applications will be in tomorrow. The crucial period will be when the drawdown happens. I would not discourage them from making applications. The issue arises when the drawdown comes, which will be later. I anticipate that if it takes the necessary urgent measures, it will not be penalised in any way.
