[Asia Economy Reporter Haeyoung Kwon] Shinhan Financial Group and Seegene donated 5,000 COVID-19 test kits to the Korean American Medical Association in New York on the 7th.

As of the 7th, the United States has recorded 1,223,468 confirmed cases and 73,039 deaths. In particular, New York is the region with the highest number of COVID-19 patients not only in the United States but also worldwide, yet it remains difficult to get tested.

Shinhan Financial Group has local affiliates in the U.S., including Shinhan Bank New York Branch, Shinhan America, and Shinhan Financial Investment New York Corporation. Seegene is a molecular diagnostics company exporting FDA-approved test kits to over 60 countries worldwide.

This joint sponsorship by Shinhan Financial Group and Seegene was delivered through Hyunji Lee, President of the Korean American Medical Association in New York, and is intended for use by the Korean community.

The Korean American Medical Association in New York hosted a "COVID-19 Drive-Thru Free Antibody Test" to wisely overcome the COVID-19 crisis and minimize damage to the Korean community. The COVID-19 test kits delivered this time will also be used for the Korean community, making Shinhan Financial Group's contribution as a member of the Korean community especially meaningful.

A Shinhan Financial Group official said, "We decided to donate COVID-19 test kits to alleviate the difficulties faced by Korean residents in the New York area, where COVID-19 has spread," adding, "Although it is a small effort, Shinhan Financial Group will be a source of strength to comfort the community and overcome hardships together."
