Tokyo Metropolitan Government to respond to all requests for suspension of business Additional payment of cooperation money May 5 15:05
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will continue to make similar requests to business operators who fully respond to requests for leave, etc. On the other hand, we have established a policy of additionally providing cooperation money.
In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government requested SMEs and sole proprietors for 21 days until the 6th of this month to respond to requests for closure and shortening of business hours. Will pay 500,000 yen or 1 million yen.
Against this backdrop, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to extend requests such as suspension of business until 31st, as the declaration of emergency has been extended until 31st of this month.
On top of that, the capital decided to pay additional cooperation money to the business operators who fully comply with requests such as suspension of business after the extended 7th month, considering the severe business conditions of the business operators.
It seems that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government decided that if it did not implement thorough infection prevention measures during the extension period, it would be useless to make efforts so far, and that it would be indispensable to continue the cooperation fund in order to support economic activities. I will.
Governor Koike is expected to clarify such a policy at an extraordinary press conference on the evening of the 5th, and the capital would like to submit a supplementary budget proposal including necessary expenses to the next metropolitan assembly after considering the details such as the amount to be paid. I have an idea.
