Starting today (9th), a five-subtitle mask was started that allows you to buy a mask only on certain days according to the year you were born. Today, Monday, only 61 or 96-year-olds have 1 and 6 digits, so they can buy two. Thousands of people were lining up for a long time, but on the first day there was confusion.

This is the first news, Jung Ban-seok.

First day of the 5th mask.

Only people with 1 and 6 digits at the end of their birth year can buy masks, so the purchase process that last week opened stores in front of department stores, marts and post offices disappeared.

Instead, dozens of people lined up to buy masks in front of pharmacies across the country.

This is a pharmacy in Gangseo-gu, which has been selling masks since 3pm.

The citizens are waiting in line to wait for their turn.

[Kim Kyung-in / Incheon Gyeyang-gu: I haven't been able to do it at all. It's all out of stock, and if you go by chance, you can't buy it because the line is so huge.

The waiting time was reduced, but some confusion also occurred.

Each pharmacy had different masks, so I visited several pharmacies, but some people have lost their time.

[(Do you have a mask?) The masks are sold out today. (Already?) Yes.]

[Oh Kyung-hee / Seoul Dongjak-gu: I stepped twice and came in at 2 o'clock. I don't know how to buy and use a mask.]

In addition to Seoul Gyeonggi, Nonghyup Hanaro Mart and Eup and Myeon Post Offices sold 1 mask per person.

Hanaro marts and post offices can buy people who live in pharmacies again until they have a duplicate purchase confirmation system.

The public masks that were released nationwide on the first day of the five subtitles were 702 million.

Tomorrow, people who buy 2 or 7 digits at the end of their year can buy a mask.
