You can check how many masks are left in pharmacies and post offices that sell public masks under the 5th subtitle on the internet or mobile app today.

The apps created by the developers started service at 8:00 am.

Mask status information is displayed with color, divided into 4 levels from more than 100 to out of stock.

Portal companies such as Naver and Kakao are also preparing a mask information service through a map app.

[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 burden on pharmacists to enter the mask inventory is increasing, and even though it is a real-time aggregation, some time lag is inevitable.

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

The problem is that older people are not used to the Internet or mobile environment.

In particular, from the first day, there were errors such as the app crashing due to the explosion of users or the duplication of purchase confirmation system not working.
