[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] On the 27th, Lee Don-seung, Deputy Head of the Organization Headquarters of the Democratic Party’s Lee Jae-myung presidential candidate’s campaign, who is preparing to run for Wanju County Governor in the upcoming June local elections, volunteered for the sorting and packaging of COVID-19 self-diagnosis kits in preparation for the new school term.

Deputy Head Lee attended the self-diagnosis kit sorting and packaging event held at the Wanju Office of Education on the 27th and contributed to the distribution of diagnostic kits to local schools, which will take place until the 28th.

The Wanju Office of Education plans to distribute about 11,000 self-diagnosis kits for rapid antigen testing immediately after school attendance to approximately 9,000 students and staff members across 51 elementary, middle, and high schools in the region before the new semester begins to quickly determine COVID-19 infection status.

Accordingly, Deputy Head Lee assisted with the sorting and packaging of the self-diagnosis kits, supporting thorough preparations to ensure students’ safe learning environment.

Deputy Head Lee said, “In the situation where COVID-19 cases are surging, many teachers and parents are expressing opinions that the school opening should be postponed. Although difficulties will follow, the government needs to listen carefully to such public opinion.”
