To all households with elementary school students to receive a gift certificate worth 30,000 yen Shimane Tsuwano Town March 6 4:37
In Tsuwano Town, Shimane Prefecture, where elementary and junior high schools are temporarily closed to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, an economic burden is expected to increase. We have solidified our policy to provide considerable support.
In response to a request from the government to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, all elementary and junior high schools in Tsuwano Town have been closed temporarily from this month.
The use of the Children's Club after school is also suspended following the temporary closure of the school, and children who cannot spend alone during the day often take care of parents and relatives.
For this reason, Tsuwano Town has decided to provide emergency support, stating that it is expected that work will be forced to take a break and income will decrease or that living expenses such as food expenses will increase.
Specifically, all 180 households with elementary school students will receive a uniform 30,000 yen gift certificate that can be used at shops and restaurants in the town.
Tsuwano Town has decided to budget for the necessary expenses of about 6 million yen, and will show this policy at the town council to be held on the 6th.
