<Anchor> The



government has decided to give 3rd disaster subsidies to small businessmen who are suffering from coronavirus.

In common, we paid 1 million won in operating damage support and opened the store like a café and PC room, but 1 million won for businesses that did not receive all customers freely, and 2 million won for places that had to be closed at all, such as karaoke or gym. I decided to apply.

We provide additional funding in the name of rent support, but since this is direct cash, you can use it for other purposes than rent.

Specific support plans will come out tomorrow (29th), and self-employed people responded that it would be helpful, but it was not enough.



For more details, reporter Jeong Da-eun will deliver.

Sinchon Street in Seoul.



There are notices in various places, such as karaoke rooms and PC rooms, informing you of the suspension of business.



The number of self-employed people who closed their doors after the 2.5 steps of social distancing in the metropolitan area was extended.



[Shin Changheung/Bar operation: Because the restaurant doesn't come at lunchtime, it doesn't mean to open the door anymore, and the staff calls to open an hour and a half out of 24 hours and can't do business.] Go



Gyeong-ho, who ran a gym in Yongsan-gu, Seoul Says that he received 3 million won for this third round of support, but it is not enough.



[Go Kyung-ho/Health Center Operation: There were about 6 (employees) including part-time students.

Each of the employees now makes a living by working part-time.]



The rent and maintenance fees remain the same, and it is difficult to handle inquiries for refunds.



[Go Kyung-ho/Health Center Operation: There are a lot of inquiries for refunds that come by phone saying that even members who have been waiting cannot wait any longer.

When you give a refund, it's not sales, it's negative.] In the



second week

of raising the

distance, average sales of small business owners nationwide fell to 68% of the same period last year, the worst since Corona 19.



Temporary support may be helpful, but there are many reactions that long-term business discontinued industries are lacking.



[Operation of amusement/pilates facilities: It is difficult to maintain a livelihood because the operation itself is not available, and I am sorry to the employees, and I am frustrated and live day by day.] The



government announced tomorrow's customized damage support measures for small businesses, and the third disaster in January next year. We plan to pay support funds to the site.
