Jungnang-gu Provides Emergency Mask Support to All Pregnant Women

Emergency Mask Support for All Pregnant Women Living in Jungnang-gu and Mothers Who Gave Birth After December 1, 2019... Sequential Distribution from the 13th... Direct Distribution at Dong Resident Centers and Mail Delivery from Maternal Health Centers

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will urgently provide five KF94 masks per person starting from the 13th to prevent COVID-19 infection among pregnant women and support healthy childbirth.

The support targets a total of 2,000 people, including all pregnant women residing in Jungnang-gu and mothers who gave birth after December 1, 2019, and will be provided sequentially in three phases.

The first phase on the 13th targets 1,500 pregnant women registered at the Maternal and Child Health Center of Jungnang-gu Public Health Center and mothers who gave birth after December 1, 2019. Staff from the local community service centers will visit their homes starting on the 13th to deliver the masks.

The second phase is expected to cover about 500 pregnant women not registered at the health center. Once the list is secured from local obstetrics and gynecology clinics, the community service centers will visit homes sequentially around the 18th and 19th to deliver the masks.

The third phase will involve sending masks by mail from the Maternal and Child Health Center as needed to pregnant women missed in the first and second phases.

Jungnang-gu operates the ‘Jungnang-gu COVID-19 Prevention Support Group’ to provide guidance related to the public mask 5-day rotation system and assist with mask sales. The district office website also posts mask sale times by pharmacy to reduce inconvenience for residents.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi of Jungnang-gu said, “This mask support is a measure to ensure the safety of pregnant women who are at higher risk of infection than the general public,” and added, “We ask residents to continue participating in social distancing and follow infectious disease prevention guidelines.”
