[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) is distributing 20,000 masks free of charge to vulnerable groups who have difficulty purchasing masks amid the rapid local spread of COVID-19.

The distribution targets low-income vulnerable groups such as basic livelihood security recipients, near-poverty welfare recipients, single-parent families, and elderly living alone, selected by each neighborhood, with about 400 people per neighborhood prioritized for distribution.

Starting from the 6th, each neighborhood will provide 5 KF94 masks and one 100ml hand sanitizer gel per person to the prioritized vulnerable groups.

The district plans to distribute additional masks and disinfectants to vulnerable residents in each neighborhood as more quarantine supplies are secured.

In addition, to block community cluster transmission, the district is distributing masks and conducting focused quarantine measures targeting multi-use facilities such as religious organizations and welfare centers.

Mayor Yu Seong-hoon said, "As COVID-19 spreads rapidly, mask supply nationwide is facing difficulties. Following the government's mask management measures, we will secure as much public supply as possible and strictly crack down on activities disrupting mask distribution order to ensure the limited mask supply is evenly distributed to residents."

For more details, please contact the resident centers of each neighborhood in Geumcheon-gu.
