[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the 23rd, the Public Relations Office of Changwon City, Gyeongnam, visited the ‘Changwon Blood Donation Center’ located in Yongho-dong to participate in the blood donation campaign.

This was to contribute to overcoming the emergency blood supply situation caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The event was carried out through the voluntary participation of the Public Relations Office staff and was conducted in compliance with social distancing measures.

This year, due to the further difficulty in blood supply caused by the spread of COVID-19, ‘blood donation certificates’ were also donated to help critically ill patients urgently in need of blood supply.

Before donating blood, participants undergo free blood tests including tests for hepatitis B and C viruses, and donors receive souvenirs and are credited with 4 hours of volunteer service through the Social Welfare Volunteer Certification Management Center.

Jung Minho, the Public Relations Officer, stated, “We hope that our small action will contribute even a little to overcoming the blood supply shortage caused by COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue to actively participate in the life-sharing movement through blood donation.”

Meanwhile, the Changwon City Public Relations Office has been actively conducting a blood donation participation promotion campaign since the 6th, utilizing internal and external promotional media such as the Changwon City News, electronic billboards, SNS, TV, and radio to overcome the blood supply shortage through citizen and staff participation.
