Kokkok114 App Provides Public Mask Notification Service

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT CS operates the lifestyle app ‘Kokkok 114,’ which will start providing a service that informs users of the public mask stock status from the 13th. Kokkok 114 offers real-time public mask remaining quantities based on data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, updating stock status every 10 minutes.

By tapping ‘Find a Mask’ on the main screen of the Kokkok 114 Android version, users can view the locations and stock status of sales points such as pharmacies, post offices, and Nonghyup within a 3km radius on a map at a glance. If users want to check the status in other areas, they can easily move the map to see the public mask stock status in different regions.

The mask stock status is divided into four levels and displayed as '1 or fewer (gray)', '2?30 (red)', '30?99 (yellow)', and '100 or more (green)'. Kokkok 114 is a lifestyle app that provides information on open large marts and hospitals, and also offers information on COVID-19 screening clinics and public relief hospitals.

Hwang Seong-ho, Head of the 114 Platform Business Division, said, “Due to the spread of COVID-19, the need to provide information on public mask purchases has increased, leading to the implementation of this service. We will do our best to utilize the capabilities of 114 to help the public.”
