[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Shin-won] As the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) spreads and masks have become difficult to obtain, cases of some citizens donating masks to police officers are increasing.

According to Namyangju Police Station in Gyeonggi Province on the 20th, police officers working at the Namyangju Hwado Precinct found a shopping bag in front of the precinct's entrance on the 17th.

Inside the shopping bag were 11 masks and a letter. The letter read, "I am happy to share the love I received. I am sorry it is so little."

CCTV footage from the precinct showed a woman leaving the shopping bag and disappearing quietly.

The Hwado Precinct plans to distribute the donated masks to vulnerable groups among visitors.

On the same day, at Haemil Police Box, a fourth-grade elementary school girl donated 10 masks along with a letter saying, "Thank you very much to the police officers who keep us safe."

A police official said, "We are grateful to the citizens who performed good deeds during these difficult times, and the donated masks will be distributed to socially vulnerable people."
