This is an elementary school in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, where a suspension order has been given.
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.
[Eun Hye / Minister of Education: It is recommended that the university adjust the start date of the new semester in March within 4 weeks.]
Many colleges have already delayed the opening of one or two weeks, and the graduation is being canceled.
[Seongjin / Sogang University February graduates: I understand that official events will be canceled and only gowns and bachelor's hats will be rented.]
International students from China were also advised to self-contain for two weeks.
[Central student at Chung-Ang University: If you go to Korea and stay at home, it's frustrating. Already stayed in China for two weeks and went outside and adapted.]
The Department is also considering additional funding for the purchase of defense supplies and the production of online classes.
