[Asia Economy Reporter Joselgina] On the morning of the 2nd, Choi Ki-young, Minister of Science and ICT, visited Sejong Janggun Post Office located in Janggun-myeon, Sejong City, to check the mask sales situation and listen to the difficulties of residents and employees.


Sejong Janggun Post Office sold 350 masks on the 28th of last month. On this day, they plan to sell 400 masks to nearby residents starting from 11 a.m. The number of masks that can be purchased per person is 5. The price is 1,000 won per mask, so one set can be purchased for 5,000 won.



The Korea Post Headquarters is selling masks at 1,406 post offices in Daegu, Cheongdo areas, and island and mountainous regions. From this day, the sales time was moved forward to 11 a.m. Despite the exponential increase in confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), it is expected that the concerns of local residents who had difficulty obtaining masks will be somewhat alleviated.
