41 school staff members were found to have visited the Itaewon Club, which had a new type of coronavirus infection (corona19).
Deputy Minister of Education Park Baek-beom held a briefing at the Government Complex in Sejong on the afternoon of November 14 and announced the status of the investigation into whether or not staff members visit Itaewon.
A total of 41 faculty members visited the Itaewon Club between April 24 and May 6, of whom 34 were assistant professors and instructors of native speakers and 7 were members of the general faculty.

So far, 11 faculty members have reported contact with confirmed confirmers related to Itaewon. All were judged negative.
“The number collected by the provincial and provincial offices of education as of 6 pm on the 13th was collected by the Ministry of Education,” Park said. “It may vary slightly depending on the results of the survey.”
The Education Ministry said it is currently investigating how many students have visited the Itaewon club or entertainment district, and will announce it when the count is complete.
In addition, the Ministry of Education added that it sent a letter to schools across the country the day before, saying, “ A request to cooperate with the suspension of the school order, ” so that students could not go to school for reasons like practice or preparing for competition.
This is due to the fact that a student from an art high school in Seoul attended school for a practical class after visiting the Itaewon Club.

Participants in the meeting discussed ways to strengthen school quarantine prevention. This is because an instructor at an institute in Incheon visited the Itaewon Club and caught Corona 19 to transmit secondary infections to the students.

The academy again demands quarantine at the level of ‘social distance’.
