This mask support from GeoYoung was made to assist the personal quarantine of elderly residents and caregivers working at long-term care institutions who have faced difficulties due to visitor bans and COVID-19 infections. The 3 million masks delivered will be distributed to about 2,500 long-term care institutions across 17 branches nationwide affiliated with the association.
Park Won, president of the Korea Association of Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly, said, "In a situation where support from various sectors has sharply decreased due to the endemic (periodic resurgence of infectious diseases), GeoYoung’s support this time is like rain in a drought," adding, "We will take even more meticulous care of the health of the elderly and the personal quarantine of volunteers."
Cho Sun-hye, chairperson of GeoYoung, also said, "We will contribute to the personal quarantine and quality of life improvement of nursing home elderly who have suffered for a long time due to COVID-19," and added, "We will continue to cooperate in supporting other items besides masks in the future."
