Suwon Distributes Masks to Pregnant Women

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City plans to distribute masks to pregnant women.

Mayor Yeom Tae-young announced through "Suwon's 181st Response to COVID-19" that the city will distribute masks to pregnant women.

The distribution period will be two days, from March 17 to 18. The recipients are pregnant women and postpartum women registered at health centers. However, postpartum women must have given birth after January 1 of this year.

Each person will receive 5 masks: 2 KF94 masks and 3 general masks.

Prior to distribution, recipients will be notified by text message, and the masks will be delivered directly by township leaders (community block heads) through neighborhood administrative welfare centers.

Unregistered pregnant women can register by applying at their district health center (proxy applications are available). Unregistered pregnant women must provide a government ID and either a pregnancy confirmation letter or maternal health handbook. Unregistered postpartum women must provide a government ID and either a birth certificate or baby handbook.

Mayor Yeom Tae-young stated, "I appreciate the township leaders' participation in mask distribution," and added, "Community solidarity and sharing, concern and consideration are another name for civic spirit. Suwon City will wisely overcome this crisis together with our citizens."
