South Korea ends weekly mask-purchasing restrictions

2020-07-12 23

오늘부터 마스크 제한없이 구매 가능

Starting today, there will no longer be lines outside pharmacies in Korea of people wanting to buy face masks.
The government has ended the rationing system that had been in place for months at certain retailers... to prevent a shortage.
Under this system, everyone had an assigned day on which they could buy a limited number of masks... at the pharmacy, the post office and a few other places.
Those restrictions are gone... now that South Korea has an ample supply of medical-grade masks.
