Starting today, the Mask 5 Subtitle will be launched.

Those who end their year of birth on Monday 1, 6, Tuesday 2, 7, Wednesday 3, 8, Thursday 4, 9, and Friday 5, 0 can buy two masks at the pharmacy.

Today, Monday, only 1 and 6 year olds (19X1, 19X6, 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016) can live.

You must bring your resident registration card, driver's license, or passport.

If the pharmacy enters a purchase history into the duplicate purchase confirmation system, the buyer can no longer live this week.

Today, if you are an elderly person born in 2011, 2016, or 1936 or 1931, you can buy a resident with a resident registration card instead.

If the family you live with is a child 10 years of age or younger (born after 2010) or 80 years of age or older (born before 1940), another family member must present his / her ID card and a copy of his / her resident registration card. You can buy

It is important to remember that you must go on the 5th day of the week that is applicable to the child or the elderly, not your criteria for going to a pharmacy.

Today, long-term beneficiaries who have one or six years of birth can live with a masked person instead.

However, additional long-term care certificate must be presented.

Even if you are not a domestic partner, you can buy two masks through a surrogate buyer on the fifth day of the week.

The surrogate purchaser must also bring their ID card.

The government expects that the competition for purchases will be slightly lower than when everyone was at the pharmacy all at once.

In the meantime, at the Post Office and Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, another public mask supplier, anyone can buy one sheet a day regardless of the year of birth.

Hanaro Mart and Post Office, where duplicate purchase confirmation system has not yet been established, can buy one mask a day without repurchase verification for the time being.

However, it is important to note that masks are not handled at urban post offices such as Seoul and Gyeonggi.

In the future, if the system is installed at Hanaro Mart and Post Office, the purchase confirmation history will be shared, and the mask 5 subtitle will be applied to all three buyers.

The government expects the deployment to be completed this week.

The daily supply of public masks is about 250 sheets per pharmacy and about 100 sheets per Hanaro mart and post office.

The time of receipt varies from region to region because the distribution centers supply the whole country.

From this day, the price of public masks will be unified to all 1,500 won.

If a six-year-old fails to purchase a public mask today, the opportunity remains.

On Saturdays and Sundays, 14 to 15 days can be purchased regardless of the year of birth.

However, because of the relative competition in the lineup, it is better to buy it on the 5th day of the week.

You do not have to buy a mask at one of three pharmacies, Hanaro Mart, or post office.

The government-provided public mask is about 80% of the total output per day (approximately 10 million copies), with the remaining 20% ​​supplied to the private sector.

However, due to the small amount of stock itself, it can be more difficult to purchase and more expensive.
