Seongbuk-gu Employees Participate in Blood Donation of Love to Overcome COVID-19

A Total of 57 Employees and Residents Participate in Practicing the Value of Life Sharing

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) has joined the "Love Blood Donation Campaign" together with the Seoul Eastern Blood Center of the Korean Red Cross to alleviate the blood supply shortage caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Two blood donation buses were deployed for this Love Blood Donation Campaign, which took place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A total of 57 people participated, including 52 employees from the district office, community service centers, and health centers, 3 social service agents, and 2 general residents, practicing the precious value of sharing life.

Although about 50 employees had already participated in blood donation in the first half of the year, Seongbuk-gu responded to the Korean Red Cross's request for additional group blood donations due to a significant decrease in blood donations from schools and the general public caused by COVID-19, resulting in a shortage of blood supply.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, all participants thoroughly checked their temperature and disinfected their hands before donating blood, and also adhered to proper mask-wearing protocols during the blood donation.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, "Despite the vacation season, I am grateful that many people participated in the noble act of saving lives through blood donation, and I hope this blood donation has helped alleviate the blood supply shortage even a little. We will continue to participate in sharing practices on site and do our best to overcome the COVID-19 crisis."
