Busan Gijang-gun Distributes Free Masks to Foreigners Registered for Change of Stay Location

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Gijang-gun is distributing 50 KF94 health masks per person to registered foreigners who have reported a change of residence.

Since the 2nd, Gijang-gun has been distributing 50 masks per person free of charge to all residents. Following this, masks will also be provided without discrimination to foreign workers in the area as a preemptive measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the district.

Starting in early December, Gijang-gun will distribute masks to foreigners who have reported a change of residence within Gijang-gun.

These foreigners can receive masks at the local eup/myeon administrative welfare centers where they reported their residence change, upon presenting their foreigner registration card.

For more details, inquiries can be made at the respective eup/myeon administrative welfare centers.

Oh Gyu-seok, the mayor of Gijang-gun, said, “We hope that not only the residents of Gijang-gun but also foreigners residing in Gijang-gun will strictly comply with mask-wearing to actively participate in protecting the safety of our families and neighbors.”

Gijang-gun was the first nationwide in February 2020 to distribute masks free of charge to all households in the district, and has since distributed masks free of charge to all residents in six rounds.

Upon completion of the sixth distribution, which began on November 2, the total number of masks distributed by Gijang-gun will reach 16.62 million.
