Boseong-gun Plans to Distribute Cloth Masks to All Children and Adolescents in the Area Ahead of School Opening

Plan to Concurrently Promote the Good Mask Campaign for Stabilizing Mask Supply

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yongcheol] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 27th that following the free distribution of filter-replaceable masks to all residents on the 23rd, it plans to additionally supply cloth masks to children in local daycare centers and kindergartens, as well as elementary, middle, and high school students on the 27th.

In accordance with school quarantine guidelines, the county will provide one cloth mask and ten replacement filters to students who are required to wear cloth masks during classes after the start of the semester.

Additionally, anticipating an increase in mask demand with the start of the semester, the county plans to promote the ‘Good Mask Campaign’ to stabilize mask supply. The ‘Good Mask Campaign’ encourages wearing cloth masks in places with low infection risk so that health masks can be reserved for vulnerable groups who truly need them.

The cost of producing the masks will be covered by the disaster management fund, and all students will receive masks on the first day of school.

Kim Cheol-woo, the mayor of Boseong-gun, stated, “We decided to provide additional cloth masks so that students can realize their right to learn while being guaranteed minimum safety,” and added, “We will continue to prepare various measures for the health and safety of students.”

Meanwhile, Boseong-gun is strengthening quarantine measures in places frequently visited by youth, such as private academies, PC rooms, and karaoke rooms, and is recommending closure until April 5.
