Ulsan City allowed the victims of the fire damage to apartments in Ulsan to stay in and eat at a nearby business hotel, and the Mayor of Ulsan said that it was "measures to prevent coronas."
Ulsan Mayor Song Chul-ho expressed his position when such a question came up at a press conference today (10th).
There are 175 residents staying at the hotel, and a question came out at an interview saying, "It is pointed out that it is too much for local governments to provide hotel room and board with tax for fire damage, not natural disasters."
In response, Mayor Song said, "We had to take into account the spread of infectious diseases that can occur when living in a gym and other places."
He said, "Now, how to protect the victims is the biggest concern." "The question of how to cover the expenditures can only be solved through investigation of the cause of the fire, review of the insurance system, and identification of responsibilities. We can't let citizens lose money.”
