Geumcheon-gu Provides Second Round of Masks (5 per Person) to Over 9,000 Vulnerable Individuals

Free Distribution of KF94 Masks to Over 9,000 Low-Income Vulnerable Individuals at Each Dong Community Center... 5 Masks Per Person

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) will distribute 45,000 masks free of charge to low-income groups who have difficulty purchasing masks amid ongoing domestic mask supply instability despite the implementation of the mask 5-day rotation system.

Starting from the 19th, the district will distribute 5 KF94 masks per person to about 9,000 low-income vulnerable groups, including basic livelihood security recipients, near-poverty welfare recipients, and single-parent families, through each community service center.

This mask distribution is the second round following the first free distribution on the 13th. Including the 4,000 people who received masks in the first round, the entire low-income vulnerable population in Geumcheon-gu will have received masks through this second distribution.

The district plans to provide additional support to vulnerable residents in each community as soon as more quarantine supplies such as masks and disinfectants are secured.

Mayor Yu Seong-hoon said, "Although the government is aiming for efficient allocation of public masks through the mask 5-day rotation system, mask supply instability continues. We will promptly secure mask supplies and distribute additional masks to residents in need."

For more details, inquiries can be made at each community service center in Geumcheon-gu.
