Regarding the impact of COVID-19 infection, we will implement measures based on the activation of Safety Net Guarantee No. 4.

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