[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The mayor of Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, held a press conference on the 3rd floor multipurpose conference room of the county office on the support for emergency disaster relief funds in response to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and announced on the 23rd that 50,000 KRW worth of Hamyang Love Gift Certificates and 50,000 KRW in cash will be provided to residents before and after Chuseok to revive the local economy.

The total estimated budget for this emergency disaster basic income support is about 3.92 billion KRW, all of which was prepared from the county's contingency funds.

Also, the recipients of the emergency disaster relief funds are 39,236 people who have an address in the county as of 0:00 on the 23rd.

Mayor Seo Chun-soo of Hamyang-gun said, "Although this emergency disaster relief fund support will not be a fundamental solution, we expect it to be a hopeful catalyst to revive households and the local economy," and added, "We hope it will be an opportunity for residents to smile even a little during Chuseok."

He also stated, "We will thoroughly promote quarantine measures to prevent the spread of the infectious disease COVID-19, which is widespread nationwide."

Meanwhile, Hamyang-gun had previously supported 2.38 billion KRW, which is 10% and 50% respectively of the government-type and Gyeongnam-type emergency disaster basic income support in May, to revitalize the local economy.
