　　(News reporter Li Yimeng) The Ministry of Civil Affairs will hold a regular press conference in the second quarter of 2020 on April 24. The meeting will focus on social assistance and poverty alleviation, the establishment of an old-age service system, and marriage registration services. The progress is introduced.

　　According to Jia Weizhou, spokesperson of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and deputy director of the General Office, according to preliminary statistics, since this year, 3.71 billion yuan of temporary price subsidy funds have been issued to people in need, such as people with low living allowances and special hardships, benefiting 81.689 million passengers. In Hubei Province, special living groups such as urban and rural minimum living security personnel, especially poor people, etc. shall be provided with living materials in accordance with the standards of no less than 500 yuan for urban personnel and no less than 300 yuan for rural personnel. All localities who are diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia in low-income subjects, extremely poor people, low-income families, and poor households who have filed cardholders will be given temporary assistance ranging from 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan per household, depending on the degree of difficulty.

　　According to Li Banghua, deputy director of the Senior Care Service Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has had a huge impact on private elderly care services. On the one hand, the income of the community is reduced, and the community pension service institutions, which mainly rely on day care and on-site services, are basically closed during the outbreak. According to the survey, compared with the same period, the income of pension institutions decreased by about 20%. On the other hand, the operating expenses increased, and the epidemic occurred just during the Spring Festival. The artificial salary, including special subsidies during the epidemic, and the expenditures for the purchase of epidemic prevention materials and living materials increased relatively fast. From the sample survey data, the average expenditure increased by 20% ~ 30%.

　　In order to support the old-age service organizations in overcoming difficulties, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has promoted relevant departments to include private-run old-age service organizations in the introduction of taxation, financing, employment and other policy measures to support enterprises, and at the same time instructed local governments to promulgate supporting policies based on actual conditions.

　　Since the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, especially during the high epidemic outbreaks, some areas with high epidemic outbreaks have suspended marriage registration due to serious considerations for the lives, health and safety of the people. This measure has effectively avoided cross-infections and clustered infections. According to Xu Jianzhong, deputy director of the Department of Social Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, at present, in accordance with the deployment requirements of the Ministry of Civil Affairs regarding the restoration of normal production and living order, 5771 marriage registration agencies across the country have resumed registration, and marriage registration has shown a peak, Orderly and stable situation. According to statistics, from January to March, a total of about 2.79 million marriage registrations were handled nationwide, a decrease of about 46% compared with the same period last year. There were no cross-infections and cluster infections.
