Gwanak-gu Donates 10.34 Million Won to Daegu and Gyeongbuk Severely Affected by COVID-19

All Staff of Gwanak-gu United in Voluntary Fundraising... To Be Used for Improving Treatment of Medical Staff in Daegu and Gyeongbuk, and Supporting Self-Quarantined Individuals

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) will donate 10.34 million KRW raised voluntarily by all employees to the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions, which have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This donation was collected voluntarily by Gwanak-gu employees with the intention of preventing the spread of COVID-19 and overcoming the local and national crisis to return to a healthy daily life as soon as possible.

The donation will be delivered to Daegu and Gyeongbuk, areas severely affected by COVID-19, through the Community Chest of Korea (Daegu branch). A district official stated, "We hope it will be used to purchase relief supplies such as masks, protective suits, and medical supplies, and to improve the treatment of frontline medical staff who are struggling due to shortages of accommodations and daily necessities."

Additionally, last month, Gwanak-gu conducted group blood donations by employees to address the significant deterioration in blood supply caused by a decrease in individual blood donations due to COVID-19, working together to expedite overcoming the crisis.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, "We will ensure that the funds raised by all employees are properly delivered and used valuably for the medical staff and volunteers working hard on the front lines to overcome COVID-19," and added, "We will do our utmost to protect the health and safety of residents and to restore daily life as soon as possible."
