The mask donation relay began with the talent donation of an aerobics instructor.
An aerobics instructor of a community sports (aerobics) class, which was suspended due to the impact of COVID-19, used her free time and her talent (Hanbok artisan) to personally produce 200 cotton masks and donated them to Dongdaemun-gu.
The welfare policy department officials of Dongdaemun-gu Office, who received the masks, took the lead by using the donated cotton masks themselves, and decided to donate their personally owned KF94 and KF80 masks to socially vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and people with disabilities.
To this end, on the 13th, the welfare policy department officials signed a pledge to refrain from purchasing and using public masks for two weeks and to donate the KF94 and KF80 masks they already possessed.
The district officials will continue the cotton mask-wearing campaign until the situation ends and strive to ensure that public masks are distributed more to socially vulnerable groups.
