The South Korean government will roll out
financial support for the self-employed and
small business owners who were hit hard by
COVID-19.
First Vice Minister of Economy and Finance
Kim Yong-beom said Thursday that government
support measures will be announced next week
and will focus on those who have suffered
major economic fallout from the outbreak.
He added that in the past, there was a boost
in consumption due to the disaster relief
funds but now concerns linger over the further
spread of the virus.
