東京都、コロナ対策費１兆円に　追加協力金などで補正予算案―緊急事態宣言

　東京都は１９日、新型コロナウイルスの緊急事態宣言延長に伴う休業要請の追加協力金９３０億円などを含む５８３２億円の２０２０年度補正予算案を発表した。新型コロナ対策費の総額は、４月に想定した８０００億円から約１兆円に拡大。都の貯金である財政調整基金を取り崩して対応するが、さらに支出が増えれば財政悪化も懸念される。
　協力金はまず、緊急事態宣言の当初の期限だった今月６日まで休業などに応じた中小事業者に最大１００万円を支給。今回の補正予算案では、今月末までの延長期間分を手当てし、２回目として同額を提供する。（2020/05/19-18:26）

The Tokyo metropolitan government announced Tuesday a 583.2-billion-yen supplementary budget plan for fiscal 2020 featuring 93 billion yen in additional compensation chiefly for business suspension caused by the extended state of emergency over the novel coronavirus.
   With the fresh extra budget for the year through next March, the capital's spending on relief programs for struggling businesses and households and other measures to cope with the virus crisis will swell to some 1 trillion yen from 800 billion yen estimated when the first supplementary budget was passed by the metropolitan assembly in April.
   According to the new extra budget plan, small businesses will receive up to 1 million yen for suspending or shortening operations at the request of the metropolitan government until the end of May, when the extended emergency is scheduled to be removed. The same amount was offered for business that responded positively to such requests during the original emergency period through May 6 under the initial extra budget.
   Besides the second round of the so-called "cooperation benefits," the Tokyo government earmarked 304.1 billion yen in costs for expanding the lending facility for small and medium-sized firms to 2.5 trillion yen.
   To beef up medical services, 20.1 billion yen was set aside for making sure the acceptance and transport of coronavirus patients for treatment and 1 billion yen for subsidizing individuals' costs to receive polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, tests and antigen tests.
