There are some local governments that have given out masks to residents in the corona context. By the way, there are not many corners where these local governments are laughing because of how much money they spend on buying a mask.

Reporter Han So-hee asked.

This mask was purchased by Jung-gu Office in Incheon for 698 won per sheet.

It is not a KF-certified product, but it is a Chinese-made dental mask. The Jung-gu office bought 700,000 copies of this mask, saying it is distributed to all residents.

A budget of over 500 million won was spent.

[Incheon Jung-gu Office, Gumin: I knew it was made in China. I didn't open it at all and never touched it. My house.] The

time when the ward office bought a mask is early last month.

It is time for public mask sales to take place near a month.

When asked why he bought the mask late, the City Office talks to another local government.

[Incheon Jung-gu Office

Personnel : In our case, we tended to follow it because it was first implemented in an adjacent ward.] Now, should I buy it in April or May?]

Last March, the mask handed out by Nowon-gu to Seoul to the residents was also controversial.

Although it was a mask not certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, it was a product with the number 94 written on the packaging as if it were a KF 94 product.

The gang who deceived this mask with KF 94 is undergoing police investigation.

Nowon-gu explained, "I knew it was a product that was not certified by KF and purchased it."

I bought 210,000 copies, and I spent more than 250 won and 400 million won per sheet.

Compared with other local governments who bought dental masks for 800 won per sheet at the same time, this is a difficult purchase price.

[Nowon-gu Officer: I said it was expensive, but I couldn't do it.]

Corona 19 points out that if the situation is stable, the local government needs to check the mask budget usage.
