We submitted each request related to the Coronavirus Relief Fund, including the Premium Pay and the Worker Relief Fund. Also, in December 2022, we submitted a detailed report on using funds. However, we will periodically monitor the compliance requirements established in the guidelines, including the AAFAF guidelines. Additionally, an employee will be identified and assigned to provide support in everything related to Coronavirus Relief Funds - COVID-19 compliance and reports.
