[Breaking News] From Today, Public Masks Can Be Purchased Up to 10 per Week

[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Starting today, you can purchase up to 10 public masks per week. Previously, those aged 19 and older could buy up to 3 masks per week, and those 18 and under (born after 2002) could buy up to 5 masks.

However, the system to verify duplicate mask purchases remains in place. Therefore, you must bring an ID when buying public masks. When purchasing on behalf of family members, people with disabilities, or patients in nursing hospitals, you must also bring the necessary documents.

Public mask sales locations remain the same: pharmacies, Hanaro Mart (excluding Seoul and Gyeonggi), and post offices (in Daegu, Cheongdo, and towns and townships).
