[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongnam Province held a 'Kick-off Meeting for the Essential Workers Survey Service' on the 22nd to support essential workers.

The province plans to establish 'support targets and detailed support criteria for essential workers' after completing the essential workers survey service in June, and to implement customized policies for essential workers in the province.

Meanwhile, the number of face-to-face essential workers in the province reaches 240,000, with non-residential welfare facility operators accounting for the largest portion at 50,143 (20.5%), followed by hospital workers at 39,422 (16.1%).
