Seoul Gangseo-gu Provides Closure Support Funds to Multi-use Facilities

Applications Accepted Until the 5th for Businesses Voluntarily Closing to Prevent COVID-19 Spread

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) will provide closure support funds to multi-use facilities that voluntarily suspended operations to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The closure support funds are provided as economic compensation for voluntary closures to multi-use facility operators experiencing difficulties due to the impact of COVID-19.

The support targets include 221 PC rooms, 347 singing practice rooms, and 277 sports facilities (fitness centers, sports dojangs, martial arts academies) registered, permitted, or reported in Gangseo-gu.

The closure support funds will be given to businesses that voluntarily closed for three or more days during the recommended closure period from March 23 to April 5.

The district plans to provide up to 400,000 KRW for closures of 3 to 4 days and up to 1,000,000 KRW for closures of 5 to 10 days or more, using disaster management funds. However, at least 400,000 KRW will be provided only if the business closed for at least three consecutive days by April 5.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the Gangseo-gu Office Culture and Sports Division in person, or by email or fax, along with the support fund application form and proof of closure by the 5th (Sunday).

The support funds will be paid in April after document review and on-site verification.

A district official said, “We thank the multi-use facility operators who actively participated in voluntary closures to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to minimize the damage to self-employed individuals suffering from COVID-19.”
