Jeonnam Governor Kim Young-rok Visits and Encourages Mask Manufacturer

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, visited Yeongam Geonyeong Cleantech, a mask manufacturing company, to check the production status and encourage employees working even on holidays.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 9th, the visit to the production company was arranged because concerns about supply instability, such as shortages of health masks, have arisen due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection. Governor Kim personally checked the production situation and urged companies to work together to overcome the crisis.

Governor Kim said, "In this difficult situation caused by the novel coronavirus, I thank the employees who have worked tirelessly day and night for the public good, especially those who have endured night shifts and holiday work," and encouraged, "Please do your best to produce products that residents can use safely."

He also stated, "Jeonnam Province is making every effort to prevent the spread of the infection at the provincial level, such as quickly isolating contacts by tracking the movements of confirmed novel coronavirus patients," and added, "Voluntary prevention and reporting by residents are also crucial to blocking the spread."

Meanwhile, Geonyeong Cleantech, established in 2016, is a specialized company producing health masks (for quarantine and yellow dust), surgical masks, and industrial masks, with all products certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency.

It employs 52 workers and produces up to 200,000 masks daily.
