In the future, you will be able to see how much mask you have left in pharmacies and post offices that sell public masks under subtitles.

First-line pharmacies, post offices, and Nonghyup Hanaro Mart provided mask inventory information to the government, which collected the information and made it available to the public so that portal companies, startups, and private developers could develop and service mask sales information apps. The government has said it will release mask sales information for pharmacies nationwide this evening, but the actual app will be available tomorrow.

The inconvenience of waiting in line without knowing how much is left can be greatly reduced.

[Seong-Young Jang / 2nd Vice Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication: The goal is to be updated within 5 to 10 minutes, that is, the sold information will go up within 10 minutes at the latest.

However, the pharmacist's burden to enter the mask inventory is increasing, and even though it is a real-time aggregation, some time difference is inevitable.

[Kim, Dae-Jin / President of Korea Pharmacy Society: If the stock information is not accurate, it may cause inconvenience. .]

It is also pointed out that the elderly are not familiar with the internet or mobile environment.
