[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Starting from the 25th, droplet-blocking masks will also be available at convenience stores.

According to the convenience store industry on the 24th, GS Retail, which operates the convenience store GS25, will sell droplet-blocking masks for 500 won each starting from the 25th, mainly at some GS25 stores located inside subway stations.

GS Retail also plans to sell droplet-blocking masks starting from the 25th at some residential area stores of the supermarket GS The Fresh and some stores of the health and beauty (H&B) store Lalavla.

The total number of stores selling the masks is about 20, and since the supply is limited, the purchase quantity is restricted to one box (20 masks) per person.

GS Retail plans to secure additional supply later and expand the sales locations nationwide to GS25, Lalavla, and GS The Fresh stores starting from the 2nd of next month.
