EDITORIAL: Effective use of virus relief funds Lawmakers on Wednesday called on the government to include the food service, hospitality, transportation and entertainment industries in its latest “Stimulus 4.0” COVID-19 relief package. Workers in uninsured industries are bearing the brunt of nationwide level 3 restrictions, Taiwan People’s Party caucus convener Chiu Chen-yuan (邱臣遠), Independent Taipei City Councilor Chen Chien-ming (陳建銘) and others told an online news conference.
