In the course of discussions at the National Assembly, the number of targets for support increased, and the plan to give 2 million won at a time to companies whose sales decreased by more than 20% was changed, and it was decided to support up to 3 million won in three stages.

In addition, 1 million won each was provided to farmers who suffered business difficulties due to quarantine measures, and chartered bus drivers were newly included.
