LX International Supports Indonesian Government and Korean Community with 60 Oxygen Generators

Free COVID-19 PCR Testing Offered to Korean Residents Through 'K-Lab'

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] LX International announced on the 15th that it will support Indonesia, where the COVID-19 resurgence is severe, by providing 60 oxygen generators and free diagnostic tests.

Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country, is facing a serious situation as the daily new confirmed cases recently exceeded 54,000 due to the COVID-19 Delta variant. In response, LX International discussed the donation of oxygen generators through a video conference with the Indonesian Minister of Health and decided to promptly deliver them next week. Of the oxygen generators, 50 units (for hospitals) will be delivered to the Indonesian government, and 10 units (for home use) will be provided to the Korean expatriate community in Indonesia.

Additionally, LX International will provide free COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for Koreans aged 65 and older through K-LAB, a COVID-19 diagnostic facility directly operated by the company. K-LAB is a testing site established by LX International in Jakarta city, the airport, and Bandung area, designed according to local guidelines and using internationally certified equipment such as Korean-made diagnostic kits to offer high testing accuracy.

This is the third time LX International has provided COVID-19-related support to Indonesia. In March last year, CEO Yoon Chun-sung donated a large number of COVID-19 diagnostic kits along with a letter addressed to Indonesian President Joko Widodo. In April this year, LX International provided and supported the installation of a K-LAB testing site on Sulawesi Island, about 3,000 km away from Jakarta, enabling a one-stop process from testing to results free of charge.

Lee Chang-hyun, Head of LX International's Indonesia region, said, "Indonesia is a strategic area where the company's major businesses are concentrated, and we have received much support from the local government and customers." He added, "We hope our small contribution will help the Indonesian government, people, and our expatriates who are united and working hard to overcome the crisis of COVID-19 resurgence."
