Yesterday morning, a student from Dobong-gu, Seoul, attending this school was confirmed.

The confirmed student visited the Gawang Coin karaoke room in Dobong-gu, Seoul around 10 pm on the 7th.

Around the same time, a man in his 20s who was infected by the Itaewon club confirmer used the same karaoke, and it is believed that he was infected at that time.

Mr. A started fever and coughing on the 11th, and was reported to have attended school for four days from the 12th to the 15th.

It has been confirmed that the school has been conducting face-to-face classes since the 20th of last month.

Ministry of Education said that the school had no authority to force non-face-to-face classes with regular high schools or universities and other vocational skills development and training institutions.

Schools say they have followed the quarantine guidelines, such as reducing the number of students per classroom and disinfecting the classroom to keep distance between students.

As concerns about further infections increase, anti-corruption authorities are conducting corona19 screenings on all 650 students and faculty members, as well as about 20 students in the same classroom.
