[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] On the 19th, the Credit Union Social Contribution Foundation announced that it delivered various preventive supplies to the Cultural Heritage Administration the day before to prevent the decline of intangible cultural heritage due to the spread of COVID-19.

The delivered items include facial recognition fever detection devices, masks, and contactless infrared thermometers, which will be placed in 70 major training centers. They will be available for use by intangible cultural heritage holders, assistant instructors totaling 428 people, and visitors.

This is part of the "Mutual Business Agreement for the Preservation and Utilization of Cultural Heritage" signed between the National Credit Union Federation and the Cultural Heritage Administration in November last year. The purpose is to protect intangible cultural heritage transmitters, holders, assistant instructors, and to manage hygiene and safety at the training centers.

At the delivery ceremony, Kim Seong-ju, head of the Credit Union Social Contribution Foundation division, and Park Jong-gun, chairman of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Skills Association, attended.
