[Tagging] Proposal for COVID Vouchers

Thu May 21 20:06:30 UTC 2020

Hi! I am late, sorry.

@Martin: you're right, i know the difference between goods and services.
I've red the page and that sentence you've quoted ("These might include..."
so it not exlude others... but maybe just in services cathegory) let me go
on hoping in a larger use of that tag.

@Francesco&Damian: sorry for services instead of service. According to the
restrictions of use the voucher within the municipality, it is the same
where i'm from and I accept that it also applies to other municipality
because each of them has chosen specific arrangements, even making use of
external provision of services.
Also, asking to some employees from my municipality, it seems that this
specific voucher was one-off measure, mainly addressed to those workers
obliged to close their activity because of health emergency. Now, with
Phase2 incoming, the economy growth is expected to resume, slowly.
With this background, it is difficult to foresee if this tag we would set
up will have long life.

Ciao
