[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Sancheong-gun Volunteer Center in Gyeongnam announced on the 21st that it has provided masks to all elderly people aged 65 and over in the region.

The Sancheong Volunteer Center promoted this support project as part of volunteer activities linked to measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Volunteers provided a total of 25,458 masks, two masks each, to all 12,729 elderly people aged 65 and over in the district. The mask set consists of one KF mask and one functional spandex mask.

Members of the Sancheong-gun Volunteer Council and the Sancheong-gun Saemaeul Association took part in volunteer activities such as mask packaging and distribution to towns and townships.

A resident who participated in the activity said, "Since there are many elderly people due to the characteristics of the local community, it was meaningful to know that we can make the community safer through such volunteer activities," sharing their thoughts on the activity.

An official from the Sancheong-gun Volunteer Center stated, "This mask support volunteer activity is expected to help vulnerable groups who have difficulty wearing masks due to the implementation of Gyeongsang Province's 'mandatory mask-wearing administrative order.'"

Meanwhile, the Sancheong-gun Volunteer Center contributes to building a community network and revitalizing volunteer work through volunteering.
