[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) has rolled up its sleeves to support local small business owners affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The district announced that it will carry out the "COVID-19 Response Public Job Project (Small Business Support)" targeting small business owners in the area who have suffered losses and are currently on temporary closure or out of business due to COVID-19.

A total of 13 positions will be recruited: 11 for promotion staff for Zero Pay and Gwanak Love Gift Certificates, and 2 for personnel to survey quarantine supplies such as masks.

Eligibility requires small business owners within the district who have experienced economic damage and are temporarily closed or out of business since the outbreak date of COVID-19 (January 1, 2020). The work period is from April 1 to June 30, for 3 months, working 5 days a week, 6 hours per day.

Residents wishing to participate can apply in person at the Gwanak-gu Job Venture Division from March 18 to 20 for three days, and must bring proof of temporary closure or business suspension when visiting.

In addition to the 290 people selected for public work in the first half of the year, the district is doing its best to overcome the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 by recruiting an additional 135 people from March 2 to support low-income vulnerable groups facing economic hardship due to the pandemic.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, "We hope this will help local small business owners who have been directly affected by COVID-19," and added, "The district will mobilize all its capabilities to swiftly end COVID-19 and do its best to stabilize the lives of residents."
