Mapo-gu Distributes Rayon Masks to 202 Daycare Centers

Preparing for Full Reopening of Daycare Centers, Distributing 20,000 Hand Sanitizers and 18,000 Summer Antibacterial Rayon Masks to Prevent COVID-19...

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yudonggyun) distributed quarantine supplies to 202 daycare centers in the area on the 15th to create a safe educational environment for children as the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) continues.

The distributed quarantine supplies included 20,000 portable hand sanitizers and 18,000 antibacterial rayon masks, delivered so that each infant and toddler could receive two hand sanitizers and two masks.

The reason for distributing summer rayon masks instead of regular quarantine masks reflects the district's consideration to alleviate the discomfort of infants and toddlers who have to wear masks for long hours at daycare centers in the hot weather.

The district supported these quarantine supplies in preparation for the full reopening of daycare centers and urged thorough disinfection and compliance with quarantine guidelines at local daycare centers.

In addition, the district has supported the practice of quarantine life at daycare centers by distributing approximately 127,000 masks and over 8,000 hand sanitizers to daycare centers in four rounds so far.

Moreover, earlier in early February, at the beginning of the COVID-19 spread, the district conducted on-site inspections of all daycare centers in Mapo-gu to focus on compliance with infectious disease prevention rules for the safety of children.

Recently, as confirmed cases have steadily occurred mainly in the metropolitan area, the district has been careful to conduct inspections and support in a non-face-to-face manner, while strengthening a constant communication system with daycare centers to actively respond to any situation and thoroughly prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Yudonggyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “I hope the summer masks will relieve the discomfort children feel while practicing quarantine life and social distancing at daycare centers,” and added, “We will take interest and provide support in various ways to create a childcare environment where parents can entrust their children with peace of mind.”
