[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 4th that it will extend the Small Business Survival Fund support project until the 15th to support stores visited by confirmed COVID-19 cases due to the resurgence of COVID-19 in winter.

Daegu City originally accepted applications until the end of October and ended support in November, but considering the resurgence of COVID-19, it decided to extend the Small Business Survival Fund for stores visited by confirmed cases (small business owners operating the stores visited by confirmed cases).

The support target and amount are small business owners of stores affected according to health center quarantine data regardless of sales decline, up to a maximum of 3 million KRW. Eligible stores can apply through the Daegu City and district/county homepage banners or popup links by the 15th, accessing the Daegu City Small Business Survival Fund application system.

Choi Woon-baek, Director of the Daegu City Economic Bureau, said, "Due to the third wave of COVID-19, confirmed cases are rapidly increasing nationwide, and many small business owners are expected to face difficulties. If your store was visited by a confirmed case, please actively apply within the application period to receive some economic assistance."
