The government started issuing the 15,000 patacas subsidy to qualified employees and freelancers via automatic bank transfer method.

Many residents headed to the bank to check whether the payment was already transferred to their accounts.

Qualified employees and freelancers started receiving 15,000 patacas anti-epidemic assistance subsidy.

Many residents went to the bank to check whether they have received the aid payment.

Some of them said that the payment is timely.

However, a resident said the payment can only solve immediate problems and believe that the resumption of individual Visit Scheme would be the only way out.

«Of course, I want to. For us, residents, we hope to open up the individual Visit Scheme soon, to make the economy better, and more shops can be opened. {ADD} Even if the government distributes money, (Macau) always relies on external funds.»

The beneficiaries who did not register to the bank automatic transfer to receive assistance payments will receive crossed cheques by mail starting from the 18th of this month.

The distribution is expected to be completed in about two weeks.
