[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) will support thermometers and white rice to social welfare facilities in the district.

On the 17th, Guro-gu announced that it will provide thermometers and white rice to social welfare facilities in the area to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and promote the health of vulnerable groups.

Guro-gu first conducted a needs survey for necessary resources targeting welfare facilities for the disabled, elderly, youth, and children in the area.

According to the survey results, 342 non-contact thermometers will be delivered to 329 welfare facilities, and 420 bags of 10kg white rice will be delivered to 48 facilities.

The items have been distributed sequentially through related departments since the 16th.

Within this month, professional disinfection companies will also carry out disinfection activities targeting 317 locations, including welfare centers, senior citizen centers, homeless shelters, and self-support centers.

The costs for purchasing goods and disinfection services were prepared with donations from companies, organizations, religious institutions, and individuals to the Community Chest of Korea for overcoming COVID-19.

Previously, Guro-gu purchased 179,700 masks with sponsorship funds and distributed them to low-income families and the elderly in the area.

A Guro-gu official said, "This support for goods and disinfection is even more meaningful because it is carried out with donations sincerely collected by many people," and added, "We will do our best to ensure that the donations are used where they are most needed."
