[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The most important lunch schedule these days for Lee Dong-jin, Mayor of Dobong-gu, is visiting small local restaurants that are struggling together with the employees.

Dobong-gu has launched a "Local Commercial District Revitalization Campaign," where all employees use alley restaurants to revitalize the depressed local commercial district.

From March 2nd for a month, the mayor visited small local restaurants with employees from 14 community service centers to help self-employed business owners suffering from the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The purpose is to share the pain during difficult times and overcome the COVID-19 crisis together.

He also delivered masks and hand sanitizers to the visited restaurants to prevent COVID-19 infection.

During lunch hours, the mayor visits community service centers to check the status of COVID-19 quarantine implementation and the rental status of disinfection equipment, and visits restaurants whose sales have sharply declined due to the impact of COVID-19 with the employees.

The owner of a restaurant located in Ssangmun-dong said, "Since the COVID-19 outbreak, customers have decreased, making it difficult to pay rent, so I am really grateful that the employees came to visit," holding the mayor's hand.

After the meal, the mayor visited another small local cafe to listen to the voices of self-employed business owners, offered words of comfort to merchants, and actively encouraged general residents who greeted him to use nearby stores.

Along with this, Dobong-gu office employees are also visiting restaurants in the Ssangmun-dong, Banghak-dong, Chang-dong, and Dobong-dong areas by department, helping to overcome the COVID-19 economic downturn in the local commercial district.

The district is providing ongoing support by lending up to 200 million KRW per company at an annual interest rate of 1.8% from a 2.8 billion KRW Small and Medium Enterprise Development Fund to small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners located in Dobong-gu to minimize damage caused by the spread of COVID-19.

The mayor said, "Due to the spread of COVID-19, consumer sentiment has contracted, and local merchants are facing difficulties. We empathize with the pain of small business owners and will do our best to stabilize the local economy early by preparing support measures such as quarantine activity support and small business support plans."
