[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) will distribute 20,000 mask necklace sets to vulnerable groups in the area.

Guro-gu announced on the 14th that as mask-wearing has become routine due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, issues such as loss and inconvenience in storage have also arisen. To resolve these inconveniences for residents and strengthen personal quarantine management, they will support mask necklace sets.

The support item set consists of 3 masks and 1 anti-loss necklace. The necklace strap is connected to both sides of the mask, preventing situations such as mask changes or loss.

The support targets include 16,504 basic livelihood security recipients and lower-income groups in the area, 2,000 members of veterans' organizations, 908 users of the Guro Food Bank Market, and 588 residents of facilities for the elderly, disabled, children, single-parent families, and homeless.

One mask necklace set will be provided per person, and the delivery of items will be completed by the 20th of this month through the community service centers and the relevant facilities and organizations.

The budget for purchasing the items was prepared with donations from companies, organizations, and residents to the Community Chest of Korea for overcoming COVID-19.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We expect that this mask necklace set support will help prevent COVID-19 and improve personal hygiene management,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to promote residents' health.”
