Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam, is implementing a customized support project for small business owners in the Uiryeong style, providing full coverage of the purchase cost for QR code terminals to local small business owners.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Lee Seryeong] Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is launching a Uiryeong-type customized support project for small business owners, providing full support for the purchase cost of QR code terminals to small business owners within the jurisdiction.

This project is being promoted to support the cost of newly installed terminals incurred after December 3, the date of the special quarantine measures announcement, for small business owners in the area.

The county will provide 400,000 KRW by adding 300,000 KRW of county funds to the quarantine supplies support fund of up to 100,000 KRW provided by the government.

The support targets are small enterprises and small business owners subject to the mandatory introduction of the COVID-19 quarantine pass, including restaurants, cafes, and entertainment facilities.

Applications can be submitted starting from the 29th by visiting the Job and Economy Division's Commerce Department at the county office or the Eup/Myeon offices, and payments will be made after screening.

County Governor Oh Taewan stated that this project is being promoted nationwide for the first time to curb the increase in COVID-19 confirmed cases in the area, reduce the burden of purchasing quarantine supplies for small business owners, and revitalize the local economy.

Governor Oh met with small business owners from the Uiryeong-gun Food Service Branch on the 20th of this month in the governor's office and reflected their suggestions.

The small business owners complained that their management has become seriously difficult due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation and that they feel the burden of purchasing QR code terminals due to the mandatory application of the quarantine pass.

The county held a meeting with small business owners on the 27th to explain the purpose of this project and check the progress.

Governor Oh said, “In the past two years, there has been no disaster as great as COVID-19 for our residents,” and added, “We will support the lives of local residents and revitalize commercial districts to restore the devastated local economy.”
