The police have been caught by a gang who secretly piled up warehouses to sell masks that are hard to get for a higher price. In this way, the authorities released about 4.5 million masks seized by the police to help people buy at normal prices. But still not enough. The government explains that it is likely to take the next week to create a system that can buy masks without lasting longer.

The sale started from 2 pm, but I could not expect the time to hand out the ticket, so I had to line up early in the morning.

[Nam Ki-yeon / Goyang-si Daehwa-dong: (Morning) I'm at 7 o'clock and I got my number from 10 o'clock. I waited three hours. I came here because I didn't have to walk around the pharmacy.]

Those who have been devastated for days have burned.

[Kim Soon-gil / Goyang-si Jungsan-dong: People who work as a caregiver like us cannot live because they do not have time. You need a mask to care for the elderly.]

The government abruptly canceled today's announcement of plans to supply and receive masks.

The party, government, and government meetings in the morning said they would almost eliminate mask exports and encourage weekend production.

But exports are virtually blocked, and domestic production is at a marginal limit.

[Park Jong Han / Representative of mask company: We are running 24 hours now. The most problematic thing is MB. There is not enough material. It's not enough, but it's not enough.

The announcements that have been made are often revised.

The Ministry of Education, which decided to supply 5.8 million school reserves to the general public, changed its plan to walk only 1.6 million schools in the metropolitan area.

This is because of the criticism of recruiting hard-saved children's masks.

Planning to use the pharmacy's health insurance system to avoid duplicate purchases also requires more time.

[Eui-Kyung / Director of Food and Drug Administration: We will build a system by next Monday… .]

The government explained that it will be next week to be able to buy a mask at the pharmacy without queues.

The government is expected to announce tomorrow that it will increase the percentage of public mask sales to 80% of its total production and limit the number of purchases per person to two per week.
