The district will provide a total of 144,340 masks, 10 masks per person, to 14,434 registered people with disabilities in the area.

The masks to be distributed were purchased from a local social enterprise and are KF94 products certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

The 144,340 masks will be sent to 18 neighborhood community centers and delivered to people with disabilities through community leaders and welfare planners. The district announced that distribution will be completed by the 25th of this month.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, said, “I hope this mask support will help residents with disabilities living in the area overcome COVID-19 and regain their daily lives.”
