Support for companies and childcare for schoolchildren ... The government's second emergency response plan is urgently established March 8 5:47
Regarding the second emergency response to the spread of the new coronavirus, the government plans to include measures to support parents who are forced to take time off work due to temporary closure of schools and measures to raise corporate capital. Aiming to decide on the day, we are in a hurry to summarize.
Regarding the second emergency response measure, Prime Minister Abe at the government's headquarters on Thursday, developed measures to prevent the spread of infection and provide medical care, responded to the issues associated with temporary closure of schools, reduced business activities and hired employees. He stated a policy of coordinating measures such as responding to emergencies and urgent measures in response to changes in the situation.
In the past studies, as a support for parents who have been forced to take time off work due to temporary school closure, companies who pay the same amount as regular paid leave, up to 8330 yen per day, will be subsidized. It is intended to support the cost of childcare operations.
In addition, a special loan system has been established by the Japan Finance Corporation to provide funding support for businesses, providing substantially interest-free and unsecured loans to sole proprietors and small- and medium-sized businesses whose sales have fallen sharply. It is a policy to do.
Furthermore, in order to eliminate the shortage of masks, resale of masks including the Internet is prohibited, and penalties are imposed for violations.
In addition, we are considering ways to support people who are having difficulties living due to leave or unemployment.
The government has swiftly decided on a decision on the 9th, taking into account the opinions of the ruling and opposition parties.
