Seodaemun-gu Provides 10,583 KF94 Masks to 144 Childcare Workers

Anonymous Mask Donation Enhances Safety for Children in Emergency Care

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) announced on the 22nd that it has provided 10,583 KF94 masks to 1,437 teachers at 142 daycare centers offering emergency care in the area and 144 child caregivers who provide care services to children in families with caregiving gaps.

The supply was prepared by combining 10,283 masks out of over 20,000 masks donated to Seodaemun-gu by the CEO of a health medical device company located in Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, and 300 masks collected by Seodaemun-gu office employees through the ‘Good Mask Sharing Event.’

The district had urgently supported children’s masks and hand sanitizers to local daycare centers, but adult masks for teachers were difficult to provide in a timely manner due to shortages.

However, thanks to masks donated by an anonymous philanthropist, caregivers and the children receiving care can feel more secure.

A daycare center director said, “Until now, it was difficult to obtain masks for teachers, but we are grateful for the donation of masks at the right time and place when they were most needed.”

Mayor Moon Seok-jin stated, “The spirit and practice of caring for neighbors are a great strength in overcoming the difficulties caused by COVID-19 in our society,” and added, “Seodaemun-gu will also do its best to ensure the health and safety of its residents.”
