Many people stay in the same space … The possibility of infection at the test site cannot be ruled outThe government touches 600,000 people to move in for an interview, a rehearsal and a practical screening
The unprecedented ‘Corona SAT’ is over, but the real test for quarantine is now. Although the test was conducted after extensive quarantine measures, the largest number of people gathered indoors for a long time after the Corona 19 incident, so you should pay close attention to the possibility of infection at the test site that it could have happened for a while. Even in the period of the university-specific exams that will follow immediately after the SAT, 600,000 people will transfer, so the tension cannot be relieved even for a moment.
On day 3, the SAT was carried out under rigorous preventive measures. All the students donned masks and took the exam in front of a desk with a screen. The supervisors wore protective clothing and were replaced by preliminary supervisors even if they showed mild symptoms of fever. In Jeonbuk, four teachers designated as SAT supervisors showed symptoms of fever and were replaced, and in Daejeon, 31 were replaced, including the supervisor and contacts who were confirmed the day before.
However, infection experts said it was too early to alleviate it, as there were so many variables. Kim Woo-joo, professor of infectious medicine at Korea University Guro Hospital, said: “The possibility of transmission at the test site due to asymptomatic infection cannot be completely excluded.” In particular, lunch breaks and contact in the bathroom were mentioned as risk factors.
Quarantine authorities are concerned about the holding of various meetings that have been postponed by candidates who have completed the exam. Young-rae Son, chief of the Accident Probation Headquarters Strategic Planning Division, in a briefing on the day, “I understand the situation where examinees have a short break after completing the SAT. “Please avoid it.” Parents also asked, “On a day like today, there may be plans to eat in a restaurant, but such a closed environment is dangerous, so refrain from going out.”
In particular, college-specific tests scheduled after the SAT can serve as an opportunity to spread out. The Ministry of Education is well aware of the fact that more than 600,000 people came together for interviews, essay writing and practical screening conducted by the university this month. It is also of concern that opportunities for contact increase as students gather at academies to prepare for essay writing and interviews.
For this reason, some local governments are focusing more on quarantine immediately after the SAT. The city of Busan decided to open a campaign to encourage test takers to return home early in the city center, where candidates are expected to congregate after completing the SAT, and to check the status of restricted access facilities. for the students. From this day until the end of this month, Gyeongnam Province decided to jointly inspect the singing practice room, PC room, cinema, academy, and cafe, which are expected to be frequently used by students.
