[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Market Kurly, a grocery shopping application, announced on the 3rd that since the 31st of last month, it has been making every effort to prevent infections through comprehensive disinfection and hygiene management, including disinfecting delivery vehicles and providing masks to all logistics center staff and delivery drivers.

Market Kurly, which conducts early morning delivery throughout Seoul and the metropolitan area, plans to carry out daily measures to prevent infection through droplets by disinfecting the seats and interior and exterior of all delivery vehicles and providing masks to all delivery drivers.

In addition, all employees handling products inside the logistics center, such as inspection staff and on-site workers, are provided with hand sanitizers placed throughout the logistics center for frequent use, and new masks are distributed daily to prevent viruses from contaminating the products received by customers.

Kim Seul-ah, CEO of Market Kurly, stated, "Recently, due to the novel coronavirus, social anxiety has increased, causing concerns even about items delivered to homes or food delivery. Especially since Kurly is the number one early morning delivery company and many customers interact with Kurly daily, although the delivery is contactless, we hope to set an example in protecting customers from any unfortunate possibilities."

Meanwhile, due to the increased need for masks and hand sanitizers amid the novel coronavirus infection, and possible hoarding, Market Kurly has frozen prices of related products and limited the quantity of masks that can be purchased at one time.
