Boseong-gun Distributes 170,000 COVID-19 Protective Masks to Small Business Owners

Leading Support for Quarantine Supplies to Prevent Community Transmission of COVID-19

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Jeollanam-do Boseong-gun (Governor Kim Cheol-woo) announced on the 2nd that it plans to distribute 177,000 masks to 2,950 small business stores, including restaurants and public establishments, within the region.

The distribution period is from the 6th to the 16th, during which the department in charge of mandatory quarantine facilities will visit the establishments directly to provide guidance on quarantine rules and distribute the masks.

This mask distribution is a preemptive measure to protect small business owners and residents who come into contact with unspecified many people, and to prevent community transmission in advance, as confirmed COVID-19 cases are rapidly increasing nationwide due to the fourth wave of the pandemic and a large population movement is expected during the Chuseok holiday.

A health center official said, “Although confirmed cases are rapidly increasing nationwide, the relatively low number of cases and almost no Nth infection cases in our area are thanks to the residents’ thorough compliance with quarantine rules and active cooperation with preemptive COVID-19 testing and vaccinations,” adding, “We were able to devote ourselves more to quarantine activities thanks to the warm words of encouragement from local residents.”

Kim Cheol-woo, Governor of Boseong-gun, said, “Despite the economic crisis caused by social distancing, we were able to block the spread of infection thanks to everyone quietly keeping their place and strictly following quarantine rules for their families and neighbors,” and added, “The small business owners and residents of Boseong-gun are the heroes of quarantine activities, and the county will do its utmost to protect residents’ health and end COVID-19 by putting all efforts into quarantine activities.”
