About 10 billion for school and health care, 4 billion for support for sectors in crisis and extension of the Cig for about 5 billion.

The other resources will be used for the support of medical and nursing staff, including the confirmation also for 2021 of 30,000 doctors and nurses hired on a fixed-term basis for the emergency and the support of contractual benefits for these categories.
