Told of redundancy a week before lockdown

I was told my role was at risk of redundancy a week before lockdown. I am pretty sure I will be made redundant though as some of my duties have already been reallocated and I’ve been asked to write handover notes. My employer has told me my contract will probably end at the start of October it may be later than that but no earlier. Ordinarily you are pretty much guaranteed to be redeployed, and I was lucky enough to find five internal roles to apply for that all fitted my skill set, albeit at a lower grade. Then two weeks ago the company announced a recruitment freeze due to coronavirus and all the jobs I had applied for were immediately withdrawn, even one I had a Skype interview for the very next day!! I have applied for a couple of nice sounding external jobs but these are all on hold until lockdown ends too. I’m the main wage earner and we can’t survive on my husband’s wage alone, it’s just about covers the rent and bills but that’s it. I’ve got savings I can use if I have to but they won’t last that long. As I’m the only one in the office “at risk” none of my colleagues are really talking to me and I feel totally excluded from everything. I know I’m probably being overly anxious but I’m rubbish at interviews at the best of times.
