Status of 116 Pharmacies Selling Public Masks Posted on Old Website and SNS...Support for Local Pharmacy Staff to Prevent Work Overload and Resident Confusion

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) announced that it is supporting pharmacy staff by disclosing the status of public mask sales pharmacies on the district website to stabilize the supply of public masks.

The district is currently posting the status of 116 public mask sales pharmacies daily on the district website, blog, and SNS after consulting with the Geumcheon-gu Pharmaceutical Association to minimize residents' confusion due to the mask 5-day rotation system.

The status data includes information such as each pharmacy's mask sales hours, contact information, weekend operation status and hours, to prevent residents from experiencing confusion when purchasing masks.

Also, to facilitate smooth mask sales and purchases, since the 10th, the district has dispatched district office staff, mobile units, the Sports for All Association, the Cultural Foundation, and district social service personnel to 21 pharmacies requiring manpower support to assist with ID verification, distribution of number tickets, and maintaining order.

On the 14th, staff were dispatched to 13 pharmacies to assist with weekend operations.

The district plans to prepare measures to support public mask sales by hiring short-term workers depending on future public mask supply conditions.

Yuseonghun, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Since the current supply of public masks is not smooth and residents are having difficulties purchasing masks, the district will do its best to alleviate residents' inconvenience even a little.”
