Soldiers participating in the blood donation filled out a preliminary medical questionnaire before entering the blood donation bus, and strictly followed COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as temperature checks and wearing masks while donating blood. After donating, various souvenirs preferred by the soldiers, such as blood donation certificates and movie tickets provided by the Korean Red Cross, were given.

Private Jeong Hyun-jun of the Logistics Command Ordnance Ammunition Depot, who participated in the blood donation, said, “I decided to donate blood after seeing the news that blood supply has decreased due to the impact of COVID-19,” and added, “I hope that the small love of the unit members can be of some help to local medical institutions and patients struggling with blood shortages.”
