Seoul's Northeast 4 Districts Provide 1 Million Won in Closure Support Funds for Karaoke Rooms and More
Payment of 1 Million Won to Facilities Closed for 2 Consecutive Weeks from April 1... On-Site Inspections of Participating Businesses Conducted Frequently, No Support if Operating Even One Day
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The Administrative Council of the Four Northeastern Districts of Seoul (Nowon, Dobong, Gangbuk, Seongbuk), chaired by Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon District, has agreed to provide closure support funds to multi-use facilities such as PC rooms that voluntarily close to encourage 'social distancing' measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The four northeastern districts will provide 1 million KRW to facilities that close consecutively for two weeks starting from April 1.
The support targets facilities that voluntarily close following local government recommendations, including ▲PC rooms ▲karaoke rooms ▲indoor sports facilities ▲private academies ▲entertainment establishments.
The support funds will be paid within this month after reviewing documents such as voluntary closure applications and support fund claims, as well as conducting on-site inspections.
Facilities participating in the closure will be visited frequently for on-site inspections, and if they operate even for one day during the closure period, they will not be eligible to receive the support funds.
To this end, the four northeastern districts are recommending voluntary closures and are receiving applications for the support fund payment plan. Notices about the support fund payment have been posted on websites to encourage voluntary participation in closures.
