The quarantine authorities are considering details such as whether to use air conditioners in summer and wearing a mask in relation to the prevention of corona 19 at schools that are about to start school.

We are also working on a solution to the lack of a health teacher to manage the health of students and a supplement to whether 'putting away' can be properly implemented in classrooms where many students are taking classes together.

Joon-Wook Kwon, Deputy General Manager of the Central Quarantine Countermeasures Division (Bangdae-bon), asked at the regular briefing held at the Osong Center for Disease Control in Chungbuk on the same day. "We are working closely with the educational authorities to find a reasonable basis and to prepare for corrections and supplements," he said.

First, the quarantine authorities are considering whether air-conditioning can be used in summer classes.

Currently, it is recommended to refrain from using air-conditioning air-conditioners and natural ventilation to prevent the virus from spreading indoors.

"In principle, ventilation is important, but in the case of summer vacation this year, the indoor temperature is high, so the use of air conditioner is inevitable," said Kwon. I will check and tell you separately. "

It is also a concern for quarantine authorities that students in summer may always wear masks at school.

According to the quarantine authorities, it is also possible to use thin masks such as dental masks (dental masks) rather than quarantine masks such as KF94 and N95.

"The masks related to the prevention activities are limited to the care of suspected corona19 patients," said Kwon. "In other cases, KF80, dental masks, or other types of masks can be used to prevent infection or prevent life." .

He said, "In the summer, there will be more and more cases of suspicious and confirmed cases that may occur in schools. We will try to improve, supplement or revise these guidelines."

When it comes to the lack of health teachers, it is a policy to ensure that all teachers can develop their capacity to respond to corona19 patient outbreaks through mock training and other efforts.

"I heard that the education authorities are trying to strengthen the (health teacher) manpower, but I have heard that the conditions are not easy," he said. "All teachers in the school respond to various situations related to Corona 19 after school, and simulate training for this "It is also recommended."

In addition, with regard to the question of whether 'putting the distance' in urban classrooms with more than 30 students in a class can be kept well, "We are preparing supplements, considering the difficulty in keeping the distance in the classroom due to the large number of people." "I answered.
