The President of the Republic Martin Vizcarra on Wednesday afternoon announced that the list of beneficiaries
will be completed this week.
In this sense, the top official indicated that the second tranche of the bonus —whose first part had already been delivered to citizens in need— will start to be paid this week.
"(…) we have to reach out up to the last family of the 6.8 million households, which must receive this bonus currently in process, while doctors and (medical) staff fight the disease and make the efforts to contain it," he expressed.
In a previous conference, the President had said that there are around 32 million citizens in the country who make up
more than 9 million households, according to the last census.
The statesman indicated that 25% of households (2.2 million families) —who work in the sector that continues operating during the current health emergency aimed at combating the coronavirus— can rely on a fixed salary.
