GS Home Shopping Donates 300,000 Masks to Immunity-Vulnerable Underprivileged Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] GS Home Shopping donated 300,000 masks on the 31st to prevent the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan pneumonia) and support marginalized groups.

The 300,000 masks donated by GS Home Shopping will be delivered to about 10,000 children and elderly people with weakened immune systems through the Community Chest of Korea. Each person will receive 30 masks, enough for one month of use.

As mask demand is explosively increasing right after the Lunar New Year holiday, GS Home Shopping secured the quantity of masks for marginalized groups in advance before the stock runs out.

Kim Jun-wan, Executive Director of HR Division at GS Home Shopping, said, "Amid nationwide mask shortages caused by the spread of the novel coronavirus infection, we believe it is the duty of a company to look around and see if there are neighbors who cannot even obtain the most basic masks." He added, "We hope that those receiving the masks will feel a little relieved and be able to carry on with their daily lives safely."
