Busan Office of Education Urgently Supports Schools with Funds for Infectious Disease Prevention Supplies

Request to Provide Hand Sanitizers and More in All Educational Institutions and Schools

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education urgently supported the purchase costs of infectious disease prevention supplies to schools of all levels on the 5th.

In preparation for the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the Office of Education provided a total of approximately 1.17 billion KRW to schools of all levels, education support offices, and affiliated institutions on this day for the purchase of infectious disease prevention supplies.

With the supported budget, the Office of Education prioritized the purchase of health masks (KF94) and hand sanitizers, and allowed schools to purchase infectious disease prevention supplies such as disposable masks, contact facility disinfectants, medical gloves, and thermometers according to their circumstances. In addition, all educational institutions and schools were instructed to stock infectious disease prevention supplies such as hand sanitizers.

An official from the Office of Education explained, “Since it is currently practically difficult to purchase some items like masks in bulk, it is thought to be more effective for each school to buy small quantities.”
