Hundreds of citizens are gathered in front of the Kyo-dong Community Service Center on September 27, when Gangneung-si Gangneung-si began supplying masks to citizens who could not purchase masks. The city is distributing 60,000 masks from the day after fearing that the government-designated public sales office will be able to purchase it early next week.
Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do decided to distribute 45,000 masks free of charge to each generation through bankbook and class president.
This is due to the fact that the pharmacy distribution of masks, which was secured publicly by the government to stabilize supply and demand, is behind schedule.
The city decided to distribute the KF94 mask secured by the number of household members in the resident registration.
Each administrative welfare center also reviewed how to distribute them. However, if many residents concentrated in one place, they would spread the infectious disease.
In fact, in Gangneung the day before, the news of the spread of cigar masks caused a lot of citizens, causing severe congestion.
An official from Taebaek said, "It is not enough to satisfy everyone, but I hope it will be somewhat helpful and comforting to resolve vague anxiety."
