Military officers buy masks at their own expense, but 420,000 soldiers were supplied with 10 masks per person per month between January and February.

This month, when fine dust and training increase at the same time, it plans to give 30 pieces per person.

A total of 12 million this month alone.

However, with the spread of Corona19, outdoor training has been suspended from the 24th of last month.

A senior military official said, “They are relatively safe because they are isolated from outside due to vacation and overnight stays.

Soldiers also understand the emergency situation outside the unit.

The military believes that up to 8 million copies, two-thirds of the supply plan, will be available in Daegu and Gyeongbuk.

The Ministry of Education decided to supply 5.8 million public masks, excluding emergency care classroom use, out of 12.7 million mask stocks in elementary and secondary schools nationwide.

The ministry said it would restock as much as it released before school started.
