[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Seven hundred employees of Miryang City, Gyeongnam Province, have selected restaurants with decreased sales and ordered 'Hope Lunchboxes' to support local small business owners.

In addition, 19 public institutions and 12 private companies have joined the project, with relatively less affected office workers sharing the pain of small business owners, delivering a hopeful message of overcoming adversity.

Mayor Park Il-ho said, "I hope this will help revitalize the local commercial district by using restaurants severely affected by COVID-19," and added, "We will do our best to prepare special measures for stabilizing people's livelihoods and revitalizing the local economy so that stability can be achieved early."
