[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Young-wook] Daegu City announced on the 17th that it will conduct a mask-wearing campaign inside urban railway trains to overcome the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The campaign will be held from the 17th to the 30th on trains of urban railway lines 1, 2, and 3 to promote the "habitual wearing of masks," one of the seven basic daily life rules for social distancing.

The campaign, conducted together with the Daegu Safe Living Practice Citizens' Coalition, was organized to proactively prevent the spread of COVID-19 by educating some passengers who remove their masks after boarding the train or lower their masks while moving and talking.

The campaign involves a total of nine teams, each consisting of two members from the Daegu Safe Living Practice Citizens' Coalition, boarding trains on lines 1, 2, and 3 from 3 PM to 5 PM to encourage citizens to wear masks and refrain from conversations.

Nam Hee-cheol, Daegu City's Safety Policy Officer, stated, "Habitual mask-wearing is the basic rule to overcome the current COVID-19 situation and the primary rule of our society's daily life quarantine," adding, "As you have followed well so far, we ask for your participation in wearing masks with mature civic awareness until COVID-19 is completely over."
