“I am infected with Itaewon Club, and the crown is expanding again.
Kim Eun-ju (57), who has a third-year son in high school, said on the 9th, 11 days before her son’s school day. Kim’s concerns were even greater as the number of confirmed cases of new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), centered on the Itaewon Club in Seoul. “There seem to be a lot of asymptomatic cases because it spreads in clubs with many younger people,” said Kim.
Parents who are about to start school due to the spread of community infection in Itaewon-dong cannot hide their anxiety. As of 9, there are at least 20 confirmed cases by corona19 in the Itaewon Club and it is unlikely that there will be additional confirmed people, but it is because, apart from this situation, the children of the Ministry of Education must send their children to school . Students start school in sequence beginning on the 13th, starting with high school 3.
The government “is a nuisance to discuss school performance”
The government is in a position that it is not time to discuss postponing the opening of the school.

The government announcement is raising concerns again. In an online parenting community with elementary school children, one writer complained, “How many people will have to reconsider their policies?” And he wrote: “It seems premature to go to school now.” In addition, there was a member who encouraged me to join the Blue House petition entitled “I am deceived by government policy.”
Parents with high school kids ‘worry’
Parents with high school children are more anxious. Starting on the 13th, four days later, my son would not only have to go to school, but also prepare for the college math exam, which would be approximately seven months later. Mr. Jeong (49) said, “I am very concerned to hear the news of the Itaewon club infection when my son’s school is in front of the school.” I thought, “I would rather postpone school attendance and take this opportunity to reorganize it as a semester system in September of next year.” Said.
On the other hand, Mr. Kwak Mo (53) said: “It is a very serious situation, but I think you should postpone attending school, but since there are important exams for the university entrance exams, I think that only Third grade high school students should be excluded from deferment. ” I hope that third graders in high school will lead the class in such a way that they separate from each other. ”
“You should consider delaying the start of classes”
Some experts noted that “you should consider delaying the opening of the school.” Professor Kim Tak, professor of infection medicine at Soonchunhyang University, said: “It is difficult to determine how the coronavirus is spread to the community due to the high rate of asymptomatic infections in young people, but it is difficult to determine how the virus will spread. coronavirus to the community. ” “You should discuss postponing the opening of the school for as long as you can call it worse.”
