Seoul City Hall
The Seoul Metropolitan Government says it plans to provide financial support to its residents as part of emergency measures for the COVID-19 outbreak in the capital.
Under the plan, the city will pay up to 500,000 won to households whose income are below a designated level but are not eligible for separate funds that will be provided from the extra budget bill passed late Tuesday.
The exact amount, which will be distributed via mobile gift certificates or cash cards, will vary according to the number of family members.
The city government estimates around 1.2 million households will benefit from the plan.■
