[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 14th, it was announced that Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) received a donation of adhesive thermometers worth 8 million won from the Gwangju Jeonnam Branch of the Korean Red Cross Safety Instructor Volunteer Association (Representative Noh Kyung-seok) on the 10th.
