The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that there were 193 additional confirmed cases of corona19 on day 1, and the cumulative number confirmed at 0 o’clock on the 2nd was counted as 9,159.

The number of new confirmed cases in Seoul per day peaked at 212 on the 25th last month, and the increase dropped from the 28th over the weekend to 158 → 159 → 155..

Guro-gu high school 11 people, Daechi-dong language school 18 people infection group

Before the academic ability test, a new type of group coronavirus infection (Corona 19) occurred one after another in educational facilities such as high schools and academies in Seoul. Despite the reinforcement of ‘social distancing’ and adherence to quarantine rules, infections occur in various places in daily life, increasing anxiety.

A group infection occurred in a high school in Guro-gu. A student from this school was confirmed for the first time on the 27th of last month, and 7 more were infected on the 30th of the same month and 3 more on December 1, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases was 11. The day before, the cases confirmed were 2 students and 1 family.

In the epidemiological investigation, the school constantly ventilated through a window, measured body temperature and checked respiratory symptoms at least four times a day, and followed quarantine rules, such as sanitary facilities and hand sanitizers. However, it was found that it was difficult to maintain a distance of 1 m between the students and the risk of infection was high due to life in the dormitories on weekdays.

Park Yoo-mi, head of the city’s Citizen Health Office, said: “It has been confirmed that it has spread from the first confirmed person to teachers, students and families, and is under further investigation.

A group of 18 people were confirmed at the language school in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu. Two more at this academy were confirmed on the 29th of last month, 7 on the 30th and 9 more on the 1st. On the 1st, there were 1 academy officer and 8 students.

Epidemiological investigations revealed that the school had no windows, so ventilation was difficult and the classroom area was not wide, so the distance between students was not sufficient. Also, both the instructor and students wore masks, but the occurrence of droplets was found to be high due to the nature of the lecture where the instructor continued speaking.

Quarantine authorities are conducting an in-depth epidemiological investigation, including the recent movement, of the students, and based on the results, they plan to act at the school where the students attended or at a nearby academy.

Before the 2021 university entrance examination, new coronavirus (Corona 19) infections were confirmed one after another at the entrance examination academies in Daechi-dong and Mok-dong, Seoul.

Quarantine authorities are conducting inspections on 240 people involved. This call center observed quarantine rules, such as forbidding some employees to work from home and use a break room, but it was investigated that the air conditioning was in the form of blowing air towards confirmed patients, and some of the employees were insufficient to wear masks.

Seven students from the Korean University band club were also confirmed. A Korean University student was confirmed for the first time on the 30th of last month, and six more were confirmed in the band.
