Starting next Monday, a five-part system will be implemented that restricts the purchase of masks at the end of the year of birth.

This weekend is your last chance to buy a public mask regardless of your birth year.

To buy a public mask on Saturdays and Sundays, you need to go to a pharmacy or NACF Hanaro Mart.

Because the post office closes.

The pharmacy is closed on Sundays except for 5,000 to 6,000 Party Drugstores on Sundays, but more than 7,000 are expected this Sunday.

The Korean Pharmacy yesterday (6th) asked member pharmacists to open more pharmacy doors so that public masks can be sold at pharmacies on weekends.

The Holiday Guard Pharmacy is open on the homepage (www.pharm114.co.kr).

You can buy masks only at pharmacies in Seoul and Gyeonggi.
In the rest of the world, you can buy masks at pharmacies and Hanaro Mart.

To buy a mask at a pharmacy, you will need to bring your ID, such as your ID card, driver's license, or passport.

Minors can live by presenting their passport or student ID and a copy of their resident registration.

If you are visiting with your parents, you can purchase a copy of your ID and resident registration card.

If you have a disability certificate, you can purchase one.

The pharmacy checks the purchase history through the duplicate purchase confirmation system, so you can only buy 2 copies per person for 3 days from 6 to 8 days.

If you bought two masks at the pharmacy yesterday (6 days), you won't be able to buy this weekend.

Hanaro Mart has not yet established a duplicate purchase confirmation system, anyone can buy a mask without presenting an ID.

However, only one can buy per person.

The price of the mask is 1,500 won in both the pharmacy and Hanaro Mart.
