[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Ki-woon] The Korea Life Improvement Shinan County Federation announced on the 21st that on the 20th, at the point when COVID-19 prevention shifted to daily quarantine measures, members personally made hand sanitizers and cotton masks and delivered them to the residents of Byeongpungdo.


This donation was carried out as a talent-sharing purpose learned through education, providing 400 bottles of hand sanitizer (350㎖) made using ethanol extracted from fermented grains and aloe gel for elderly people with sensitive skin, and 800 cool linen cotton masks for the summer season.


In particular, the cotton masks embroidered with cockscomb flowers, a symbol of Byeongpungdo, received evaluations that they would be suitable for future tourism commercialization.


Recently, many tourists have been visiting Byeongpungdo, known as the Santiago of Korea, due to the installation of the 'Jesus' 12 Disciples Angel Statues' and the '12 Apostles Pilgrimage Trail.' With the upcoming Cockscomb Festival scheduled for September, this donation was made first for the residents of Byeongpungdo, an island within an island, as a daily practice to prevent infectious diseases.


Kim Jeong-ha, president of the Korea Life Improvement Shinan County Federation, urged, “Please comply with quarantine guidelines such as wearing masks and washing hands when visiting the island,” and said, “The Life Improvement Association will take the lead in participating in daily COVID-19 prevention practices so that COVID-19 can be eradicated.”



Meanwhile, the remaining 1,000 masks and hand sanitizers will be donated to the county to be used for COVID-19 prevention among residents of remote islands.
