Seoul City-WK New Deal National Group Delivers 3 Million Masks to COVID-19 Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that WK New Deal National Group will hold a mask donation ceremony for vulnerable groups at Seoul City Hall on the 1st to overcome the COVID-19 crisis.

The event will be attended by Kim Seon-soon, Director of Seoul Welfare Policy Office, Park Hang-jin, Chairman of WK New Deal National Group, and Kim Hyun-hoon, President of Seoul Social Welfare Council.

WK New Deal National Group exports all COVID-19 prevention supplies such as dental masks overseas and donates masks to places in need as part of its social contribution projects to overcome the COVID-19 crisis. So far, about 13 million dental masks have been donated to local governments, welfare facilities, hospitals, and religious organizations.

At this event, 3 million K-Green dental masks (approximately 600 million KRW) will be delivered, and to prevent infections among vulnerable groups during COVID-19, they will be distributed to welfare facilities, the elderly, and disabled people within Seoul through food banks and markets in 25 autonomous districts of Seoul.

Park Hang-jin, Chairman of WK New Deal National Group, said, "The groups most vulnerable to infectious disease disasters are low-income people, the elderly, and the disabled. I hope this donation will help prevent COVID-19 infections among vulnerable groups even a little." He added, "We will continue to actively participate in overcoming difficult times through social contribution activities."

Kim Seon-soon, Director of Seoul Welfare Policy Office, said, "We thank WK New Deal National Group for supporting the donation of masks that are essential to vulnerable citizens." She added, "Seoul will do its best to overcome the COVID-19 crisis with the warm helping hands of companies."
