[Tagging] Proposal for COVID Vouchers

[Rossella Di Bari]

Hi! I am Rossella, an italian neo-mapper, nice to meet you :)
In Talk-It [1] we get into a debate on vouchers, provided by the
Government, for the purchase of essential goods, to support the families in
need in COVID time.
The vouchers are similar to SNAP or food stamps, they can also be used to
purchase essential supplies like medicines (not just for food) and entitle
to a certain percentage discount.
I am posting here because it came forward the need to tag supermarkets and
pharmacies that accept the COVID vouchers as a payment method and it's time
for a broad debate.
Searching on Taginfo [2], i have found payment:service_vouchers:covid19=yes
used only 5 times and it seems to be the most suitable tag because these
specific vouchers:

   - are a payment method;
   - (in my opinion) can be considered a service_voucher as "a financial
   instrument which allows a public authority to target social services at
   those it deems in need" [3];
   - were issued because of COVID and can provide greater facilities than
   the simple ones.

What do you think?
Thanks
