<Reporter> An
extraordinary state council meeting was held this morning at the government office in Seoul, presided over by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun.
As the National Assembly passed the 4th supplementary bill worth 7,814.7 trillion won late last night, it immediately followed up for enforcement.
The government reaffirmed its position to provide assistance as quickly as possible.
[Sae-gyun Jeong/Prime Minister: CPR should be used to save those in an emergency. The speed of this supplementary administration is also the key.]
Prime Minister Chung instructed to substantially strengthen information and publicity on application timing and limits, while reducing procedures as much as possible and minimizing inconvenience.
The supplement included subsidies for small business owners, freelancers for special employment, and child care, but some payments are scheduled to begin tomorrow.
From tomorrow, a project that pays 500,000 won to special-employed workers and freelancers who received the first subsidy will start executing a new desired fund that provides up to 2 million won to small business owners whose sales have decreased.
However, it is not a lump sum payment method, but the plan is to pay the applicants in the order of application.
