Regarding the impact of COVID-19, we will take measures based on the launch of Safety Net Guarantee No. 4.

　The government has decided to launch Safety Net Guarantee No. 4 as a fund-raising support measure for small and medium-sized enterprises affected by COVID-19. As a result of this measure, small and medium-sized enterprises whose sales are decreasing due to the COVID-19 infection will be able to use a separate guarantee from the general guarantee by being certified by the mayor of a municipality.
　With this, we start certification application acceptance of Safety Net Guarantee No. 4 from Monday, March 2 in Motoichi.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　In addition, we will establish a system financing menu for those who have obtained this certification, "Special Fund for Countermeasures against COVID-19 Infectious Diseases". In this menu, a maximum of 280 million yen can be used in a separate frame (in principle) from the normal guarantee limit, and Yokohama City will also subsidize the credit guarantee fee in full.
