Hong Kong To Exclude 'COVID Unaffecfed' Companies From Wage Subsidy Scheme
Hong Kong will exclude the large supermarkets, pharmacies, and chain businesses from the next round of government wage subsidies, who remain “unaffected” from the fifth-wave of the Covid-19 outbreak, stated Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam. In addition, people earning over Hong Kong Dollar 30,000 per month won't be benefited from the scheme. Notably, the three-month scheme is targeted to aid about 1.3 million workers.
