Ganghwa County Distributes 5 KF94 Masks to All Residents

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County announced on the 9th that it will distribute 5 KF94 masks per person to all residents to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the area.

The mask distribution is a preemptive measure to block the spread and protect residents' health as the coronavirus outbreak in the Seoul metropolitan area has entered a full-fledged pandemic phase.

Masks will be distributed from the 9th to the 11th from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at each village community center in the resident's address. Once residency is confirmed, masks corresponding to the family size will be provided in full, and masks not received during the period can be picked up at the corresponding eup or myeon office in December.

Meanwhile, the county previously distributed 5 dental masks per resident in July, followed by an additional distribution of 5 KF94 masks in October.

County Governor Yu Cheon-ho said, "Compared to the situation where confirmed cases have been relatively low compared to other Seoul metropolitan cities, the situation over the past few days is serious," and urged, "Since COVID-19 puts precious families and neighbors at risk, please make sure to follow personal hygiene rules such as wearing masks."
