[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Nodongil, Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae) announced on the 30th that it will provide 1.185 billion won to neighbors experiencing difficulties in the local community due to 'COVID-19'.

Governor Kim Young-rok said, "I hope that this small kindness will serve as a catalyst and provide strength to residents suffering from COVID-19," and added, "We will strengthen quarantine and management to reduce COVID-19 damage, and also ask for active participation in social distancing."
