[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County Governor Yu Cheon-ho checked the application and receipt status of emergency disaster relief funds at an executive meeting held at the county office on the 25th and urged rapid spending to revitalize the local economy.

As of the 24th, the emergency disaster relief fund distribution status in Ganghwa County shows that 30,278 households, representing 91% of 33,309 households, submitted applications and received 18.2 billion won in disaster relief funds.

At the meeting, Governor Yu Cheon-ho reviewed the implementation of a "consumer promotion campaign" to quickly use emergency disaster relief funds and other resources in local commercial districts together with residents as a short-term measure to achieve early economic recovery, as well as departmental response plans including on-site quarantine preparations and screening clinic coordination based on school reopening schedules within the county.

Additionally, it was decided to encourage government officials in the county to visit small businesses and traditional markets using distributed welfare points and disaster relief funds for consumption and post about it on SNS and other platforms as part of a "virtuous consumption campaign."

Governor Yu Cheon-ho stated, "Although emergency disaster relief funds can be used throughout Incheon Metropolitan City, we ask that you make the utmost effort to promote the revitalization of local commercial districts by encouraging consumption within our region whenever possible."

He added, "For the revitalization of the local economy, we urge residents to actively participate in the quick spending of disaster relief funds within the region."
