Many people are worried about how to obtain a mask and how much to buy necessities without increasing the number of confirmed patients every day and the anxiety does not subside. For the masks that had to be bought in a long line, starting today (26th), half of the production, about 5 million copies, will be delivered to the public dealers every day, and as early as tomorrow, up to 5 per person in pharmacies, post offices and agricultural cooperatives.

Masks to be supplied to Daegu and Gyeongbuk were loaded on cargo vehicles.

One million masks produced today were specially supplied to Daegu and Gyeongbuk.

When the shortage of masks aggravated due to the spread of Corona19, exports were limited to less than 10% of mask production, and half of the daily production, about 5 million copies, was supplied to public distributors.

For the time being, 1 million copies per day will be supplied to vulnerable areas in Daegu and Gyeongbuk, and 500,000 copies to medical institutions and Daegu Medical Association.

The remaining 3.5 million copies are supplied to pharmacies, post offices and agricultural cooperatives that consumers can access.

The company decided to supply 2.4 million copies to pharmacies nationwide, and 1.1 million to the post offices in the Eup and Myeon area and the Agricultural Cooperatives outside the metropolitan area.

As early as tomorrow afternoon, no later than the day after tomorrow, consumers can buy masks at these public outlets, with a limit of five per person.

[Eui-Kyung / Director of Food and Drug Safety: We plan to distribute the priority to special disaster areas or medically necessary places, and then to vulnerable groups and vulnerable workplaces.]

The government recommended the price of the mask to be reasonable, including the shipping cost, and decided to suspend the supply to the dealers who did not keep it.

Once the convenience store was removed from the public retailer, we plan to discuss the inclusion.
