[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 18th that since the opening of the Jinju Welfare Call Center last March, visits by civil petitioners have increased, but many visitors do not wear masks, so the city is producing and providing masks to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The masks are printed with campaign slogans recommended by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency for practicing social distancing in daily life, featuring catchy phrases such as “2m! The distance that protects each other,” “Wise quarantine life,” “Arm's length healthy distance,” and “Social distancing life vaccine.”

A city official said, “Recently, COVID-19 has been spreading in clusters mainly in the metropolitan area, and due to the warmer weather, most visitors are coming without masks. Since medical masks are disposable, we are producing washable cotton masks and providing them to visitors at the Jinju Welfare Call Center.”

Last year, at the end of the year, the city purchased and distributed 630,000 medical masks as part of a mask supply project for low-income vulnerable groups, and it is evaluated that Jinju wisely overcame the unexpected COVID-19 mask shortage crisis.
