It is located 431m away from CGV Sungshin Women's University entrance, where patient # 5 went.

The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education has ordered the closure of 42 kindergarten and elementary, middle and high schools in Seongbuk-gu and Jungnang-gu, which are included in the 5th patient's route.

In the meantime, the school has been closed on its own terms, but this is the first time the DOE has ordered a suspension.

The period of suspension is for eight days, from tomorrow to 13, taking into account the 14 days of incubation, based on the 30th of the last month when the 5 patients were confirmed.

The University Street, which is about to start next month, also had an emergency, and the Ministry of Education recommended today.
