Wednesday's friendly economy, Kwon Ae-ri reporter. Reporter Kwon, the president finally apologized for the public yesterday (3rd), but he is preparing a comprehensive mask measures now?

<Reporter>

Yes. The official sale of the mask, which began a week ago, was the first measure, and it started to take a little effect in lowering the soaring price, but as I said yesterday, it was too hard to find.

On the contrary, with the availability of off-line public retailers, the government has advised to avoid many people for a while, while many people have been waiting in line for hours, making masks too difficult or impossible to obtain.

The second measure the government is planning to introduce is a kind of mask real name system. We decided to present and manage the mask purchase history of citizens to make the mask work more fair to the whole people.

Firstly, senior officials such as Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-gi and Chief Policy Officer Kim Sang-jo mentioned yesterday through the government questions and the media, making 23,000 pharmacies nationwide a key mask distribution channel.

It is also a way to apply the drug safety use service DUR that was introduced yesterday. It's a system for solving things like the original patient getting a prescription over and over again.

When a pharmacist checks, you can find out that 'You've just bought the same medicine at a nearby pharmacy.'

Since masks are not medicines, it is not possible to make these references through the DUR.

The government's discussions between ministries yesterday indicated that the DUR system was not used as it was, but rather to run a separate program to manage the mask purchase history.

It may take a long time to run a separate program.

<Reporter>

I'm telling you I'll try this week.

<Anchor>

This week? Anyway, if you do this, you can prevent one person from buying too much, and you can check whether it is distributed evenly by pharmacy.

<Reporter>

Yes. If you look at the existing DUR system, you get a supply report for some kind of medicine. You can check these flow charts when drug A enters and exits pharmacy B. If you run a program that applies DUR, you will be able to understand this part.

We are also considering increasing the amount of public sales masks. Currently, about half of domestic production is sold to the public, and it is reported that plans to turn up to 80% of domestic production into public sales are being considered.

The government is also discussing direct contracts with manufacturers for public sale.

The public sale, which started last week, was precisely a contract between the mask manufacturers and the so-called public dealers, according to government guidelines.

Thus, the public sale measure notification itself was implemented from 0 o'clock on the 26th, which is why such a time difference appeared that public sale on the front line was actually possible from the 28th.

Suddenly, it took time for the companies to sign the contract and turn the distribution channel.

With the increasing amount of publicly available masks, the government is looking at how the government manages its distribution network, just as the PPS is responsible for purchasing.

<Anchor>

But in fact, I'm sure you're a singer who wants to buy a mask in advance because it's going to be long. It's hard to keep up with the current demand for the time being.

<Reporter>

Yes. Current domestic production makes it virtually difficult to keep up with current demand. In particular, domestic daily mask production, which has been around 6 million per day since Corona 19, has nearly doubled to around 12 million.

As you can see in the table, in recent years, especially since the start of public sales, the production of masks has been reduced since the congestion. I'm still encouraging production now.

Weekend production is originally less than weekdays, but last weekend is definitely less than a week ago.
There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is that the domestic distribution of some materials, including filters used in health masks, starts to run little by little.

Some factories are increasing production by turning mask filters into diaper filters, but the limits are showing a little.

This is why it is important to improve the distribution network as soon as possible. Mask singer due to anxiety is reduced only when you can rest assured.

If you already have several chapters, but still do not buy them, you can not ask in the future. .
