Although concerns have been raised that the corona19 outbreak in the Itaewon Club could spread to schools, the government said it is virtually impossible to conduct a diagnostic examination of the entire staff.

Kang Gang-lip, head of the Central Disaster Safety Response Headquarters, said at a regular briefing held at the Government Complex in Sejong today (13th), "I question whether the proficiency inspection is a practically easy means to take into account considering our daily inspection capability."

Quarantine authorities conduct about 15,000 corona19 diagnostic tests per day.

Yesterday, a total of 15,30 diagnostic tests were conducted.

“The total number of our faculty members exceeds 600,000,” he said. “Instead of a thorough investigation, we can consider other alternatives, such as sample inspection or inducing voluntary inspection. I am doing it. "

He said, "It is a matter of great concern from the perspective of parents who are planning to attend school."

Prior to this, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced that 158 ​​faculty members who visited the area where corona 19 confirmers, such as Itaewon, came from April 29 to May 6, reported themselves.

The Chungbuk Provincial Office of Education also found that 42 faculty members and teachers of native speakers in the province visited Itaewon during this period.

Other municipal offices of education are also trying to figure out whether faculty members in the building are visiting Itaewon.

In Seoul, cases of high school students visiting the Itaewon Club were also confirmed.

This student has been negatively tested and self-contained.

"I think the high school student is voiced, so I don't think any further action is necessary. The Department of Education is conducting further investigations. If there is a confirmed person, you will need to take necessary measures through epidemiological investigations.

"I will consult with the Ministry of Education," said the General Coordinator Kim, who pointed out that there are schools that actually went to school because of practical classes.
