[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gimcheon City, Gyeongbuk Province, announced on the 31st that on the 3rd, it will hold a large-scale blood donation event of love using the Korean Red Cross Daegu-Gyeongbuk Blood Center mobile vehicle in front of the city hall, targeting public officials, Rotary Club members, and citizens.

Gimcheon City, which has organized an annual blood donation participation event for all employees, is holding this campaign for the second time this year amid a decrease in group and individual blood donation participants due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The blood donation participation criteria require participants to be between 16 and 69 years old, have not donated blood in the past two months, and weigh at least 50 kg for men and 45 kg for women. Participants will receive various health checkup benefits such as blood, anemia, and liver function tests, as well as recognition of volunteer hours and blood donation certificates.

Kim Dae-gyun, head of the public health center, said, "In the situation where blood donors are decreasing due to the impact of COVID-19, participation in blood donation is even more urgent to maintain a stable blood supply," and added, "We hope many citizens and public officials will participate in blood donation, which practices the noble sharing of life."
