Notice can still be given. If you miss rent on 1st April and then the grace period passes (which is not long), they can send you notice of eviction proceedings that will start in 3 months.
So you can't be removed from your rented home for 3 months, but you can lose your right to continue renting there in 3 months, caused by events happening right now.
I don't think they can evict due to lack of payment in the emergency. Which is just as well, because the notice period for non-payment eviction proceedings is quite short.
However, landlords have the right to give no-reason eviction notices to most tenants anyway (I think it's mostly tenants who've been there for > 6 months). They don't need to give a reason, they just have to feel like it.
The notice period for that is now 3 months instead of the former 2 months...
