As of May 2020, over 1,400 billion South Korean won were used on eating out at public restaurants by Korean citizens with their COVID-19 relief funds. To combat the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, the South Korean government organized emergency relief funds to the general Korean public. The funds were allocated electronically to declared debit or credit cards from the 13th of May 2020. The leading areas of relief fund usage were at restaurants, supermarkets, hospitals/pharmacies, and gas stations. According to the source, approximately 60 percent of the total relief funds allocated to debit or credit cards were used at the end of May 2020.
