The government's focus is on preventing corona19 from spreading over the next one to ten days. So I decided to postpone the opening of kindergarten and elementary and high school nationwide once a week. It may be longer depending on the situation. I also asked them to refrain from gathering a lot of people.

I am the best reporter.

The Ministry of Education said it delayed the opening of kindergartens, elementary and secondary schools, and special schools nationwide.

This is the first time that the national unit is delayed.

School opening dates are postponed from 2 to 9 next month, which may be delayed depending on the situation.

[Yun Eun-hye / Minister of Education: We will keep an eye on the spread of infectious diseases in the future and will respond promptly if further follow-up measures are needed.]

As school days are delayed, the shortage of class days has been resolved by reducing summer and winter vacations.

Emergency care is provided for working couples who may have difficulty in school.

For schools that are used by many students, we recommend that students close the park and leave school.

Regarding Chinese international students, measures vary depending on whether or not you have entered Japan.

First of all, we will operate a special management system for more than 10,000 Chinese students coming to Korea this week.

For international students who have not entered the country, the distance learning system is used.

The government first asked the Daegu region to refrain from going out for at least two weeks to prevent the spread of the community.

We also asked you to refrain from events in narrow interior spaces or crowds.

In particular, we advised them to refrain from providing meals at weddings and funeral homes to prevent possible infections.

The government said it will be a major deterrent to the spread of Corona19 in the next week to ten days, stressing the cooperation of the people and medical staff.
