Itaewon surprises university students in case of emergency … Students must cancel classroom classes-Chosun.com

The initiatives of the Seoul Itaewon Club increased as the number of cases of infection increased. One of the two universities switched to face-to-face classes for some classes starting on the 11th, but students complain of anxiety about the infection.

On the 11th, Korea University allowed face-to-face classes on the condition that both online and face-to-face classes be combined. In addition, small-scale conferences of 30 students or less can be conducted face-to-face with student consent and distance. From this day on, from this day on, if deemed inevitable due to the nature of the course, only limited lectures of 30 students or less were allowed. According to the Council of Presidents of the Private University of Korea last month, 94 of the 193 universities that started face-to-face classes on the 11th amounted to 48.5%.

The students insist that there is a high possibility of spreading the virus to university students because the confirmation related to the Itaewon club focuses on young people, such as those in their 20s. On the Korean University online bulletin board, there were posts complaining of anxiety, such as “In the Itaewon Club infection situation, the school is trying to hold a face-to-face conference.” Even at Seoul National University, which has switched from hands-on and experimental subjects to face-to-face classes since 6, students can attend face-to-face classes starting tomorrow and don’t know if it’s appropriate to do so in this situation. I was concerned that some of the people who were going to school went without speaking. “In Gwanak-gu, where the Seoul National University is located, seven confirmed cases of coronavirus infection from the Itaewon group occurred. Hankuk University of Foreign Studies he left the general student council and asked the school to “impose compulsory non-classroom instruction in all classes.”

Kookmin University canceled the originally scheduled face-to-face conference schedule. Kookmin University said on 10: “The corona virus situation has been reversed rapidly since the massive Itaewon Club infection in Seoul in early May.” “We will temporarily postpone and cancel all face-to-face classes scheduled for May 11-16.”

Confirmed cases related to the Seoul Itaewon Club increased to 77 after four days from the first occurrence on day 6. Not only are there metropolitan areas like Seoul and Gyeonggi, but they are also confirmed across the country like Cheongju, Busan, and Jeju. at Chungbuk. Due to the nature of the club, young people between the ages of 20 and 30 make up the majority. Younger people are asymptomatic even after being infected with the coronavirus, which is a concern for silent transmission. “On the 10th, around 30% of confirmed cases related to the Itaewon club received confirmation of asymptomatic status,” said Eun-kyung Jeong, head of the Prevention Policy Division. “There are a lot of young people in their 20s and 30s who are visitors to the club.” They are all tested so they can be detected early even in asymptomatic conditions. “
