[사회]Seoul Kindergarten opens in 4 months … “Special activities from external instructors are also possible”

[앵커]

The closure measures for 5,000 kindergartens in Seoul were completed in 4 months and normal operation began.

Unlike the days when only emergency childcare was used, there are now special activities available, but outside instructors must receive a negative test before class.

Reporter Jung Hyun-woo’s report.

On the first day 5,200 nurseries in Seoul went into normal operation in 129 days.

The children who joined mom and dad arrive one by one.

I lined up from a distance as if familiar, and after a fever test and hand sanitizer, I greet the teacher.

There are more than 90 children who enter this nursery.

The number of staff did not increase significantly compared to when it was operated as emergency child care.

Even throughout Seoul, the number of emergency care assistants was 87% of the total, which was not significantly different from the normal opening.

However, it is now possible to perform special activities that have not been done due to concerns about infection.

You will be able to experience a variety of experiences such as music, art classes, and diocesan activities.

There are also parents who are welcoming, but there are voices of concern about classes visited by outside instructors.

For this reason, there are many daycare centers that postpone special activities for the time being or will only conduct activities online.

This year, there were 36 cases of group infections in nurseries and kindergartens across the country, and 635 people in total have been confirmed.

To avoid the risk of further infection, the city of Seoul has conducted special activities that instructors must test negative for Corona 19 within a week before their visit to take classes.

Child care staff at daycare centers will also be tested for COVID-19 every month starting this month.

Starting on the 8th, the vaccination against AstraZeneca will begin for 15,000 health teachers and teachers specialized in day care centers for children with disabilities.

Immunizations for daycare and kindergarten teachers will begin in June.
