Free Distribution of 27 KF94 Masks per Person via Community Service Centers; 50 KF94 Masks per Person for Residents of Social Welfare Facilities... Total of 700,000 Masks Provided to Low-Income Vulnerable Groups Since March

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) will distribute 400,000 masks free of charge to low-income residents and welfare facility residents who have difficulty purchasing masks amid ongoing anxiety caused by the resurgence of COVID-19.

In July, the district plans to distribute 27 KF94 masks per person to about 13,000 low-income vulnerable groups, including basic livelihood security recipients, near-poverty welfare recipients, and single-parent families, through each neighborhood community center, and provide 50 masks per person to about 70 residents of social welfare facilities.

Since March, the district has distributed a total of 300,000 KF94 masks, 23 masks per person, in two phases to about 13,000 low-income vulnerable residents in the area. Additional support will be provided to vulnerable residents as soon as more quarantine supplies such as masks and disinfectants are secured.

Mayor Yu Seong-hoon said, "As signs of COVID-19 resurgence appear in various places recently, the anxiety of residents is increasing day by day. We will thoroughly prepare to ensure there is no disruption in the supply of quarantine supplies in case of emergencies such as a second COVID-19 pandemic."

For more details, inquiries can be made at each neighborhood community center in Geumcheon-gu.
