[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 12th, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it conducted a group blood donation targeting residents, public officials, and related organizations under the county at the Yeongam-gun Office plaza and the blood donation bus in front of Samho-eup Office to secure emergency blood supply.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and continued social distancing, the number of blood donors sharply decreased, causing a shortage of adequate blood reserves and creating a need to secure emergency blood supply. Therefore, the group blood donation was conducted under strict compliance with quarantine guidelines.

This blood donation was carried out in cooperation with the Korean Red Cross Gwangju-Jeonnam Blood Center, and many related organizations, including county residents, public officials under the county, and Yeongam Police Station, actively participated.

A representative from the Yeongam-gun Public Health Center stated, “We ensured participation in blood donation while adhering to quarantine rules to prevent COVID-19 infection, such as checking for fever and respiratory symptoms, and we will continue to actively participate in life-sharing through blood donation.”
