Budget is one of those things that cannot be voted by the current affairs government so they just keep renewing the last budget allowances from the last actual government, as far as I understand (I don't know if it's a legal requirement, or just a custom). Don't take my word for it though, I'm definitely not an expert on Belgian politics. But the coronavirus crisis is definitely a current affair, and the current government has free reign to do anything it deems necessary about it.
