At the moment I'm temporarily laid off.
If I go for an interview for new job, should I tell them about my situation ?

I'm afraid this might reduce my chance for the selection even though it's not my fault.
If I don't tell, Can my new employer find about my situation ?

You should tell IF THEY ASK.

You should not lie. You are not obliged to start to tell them things they don't ask. Being laid off, especially right now, is not uncommon.

This might be usefull to know:
