Today (5th), the government has reintroduced the mask measures, with more than 6,000 domestic patients with Corona 19. Many people want to buy and difficult to find a mask that will be fair to return. Apart from this, let's take a look at the news that Japan has decided to increase the entry threshold for Korea and that the increase in domestic patients has slowed down a bit. First, let's take a look at the government measures that came out today. The key is that you can only buy two masks per person per week. Each person can only live on weekdays on weekdays and have to bring identification.

Reporter Park Chan-keun summarized the details.

First of all, mask exports, which were allowed within 10% of production, are prohibited.

The share of public shipments, which was 50% of the output and about 5 million copies, will expand to 80%.

These increased public masks are concentrated in pharmacies.

Starting tomorrow, the number of masks a person can buy in a pharmacy is limited to two per week.

To prevent duplicate purchases, we use the pharmacy's computer system to verify your identity and purchase history. Starting next week, you will be limited to the day of the week at which you can buy a mask at the end of your birth year.

If the end of the year is 1 or 6, it is the same as Monday, or 2 or 7 on Tuesday.

If a minor is in line with their parents, they can buy a mask based on their parent's birth year, but buying a mask on behalf of a child who is not on site is prohibited.

Those who do not buy on weekdays can live on Saturdays and Sundays.

At the post office and Hanaro Mart, only one person can buy one until the purchase history management system is established.

The government has decided to increase the production of masks of 10 million pieces per day to 14 million in a month by expanding production facilities.

In addition, we plan to obtain a government approval when trading more than 10,000 pieces of 20% of the volume supplied through a private distribution network, and introduce a price cap that limits the maximum price if price is unstable due to hoarding.
