In the remarks of the senior secretary meeting held at the presidential office in Yongsan on the morning of the same day, President Yoon said, "It is very fortunate that the National Assembly passed the supplementary budget bill late yesterday."
"It is a natural duty of a state governed by the rule of law to compensate for the loss caused by the government's restrictions on the exercise of property rights in the course of the quarantine process," he said. Please," he said.
According to President Yoon's approval of the supplementary budget bill, it is expected that the payment of compensation for the COVID-19 loss will start as early as this afternoon.
Previously, President Yoon presided over a cabinet meeting at the Yongsan government building on the 12th, two days after taking office, and passed the supplementary budget bill to the National Assembly.
