Daejeon Dong-gu Public Health Center, which has a screening clinic, and elementary school students enter the clinic one after another.

On the 29th of last month, after the 5th grader of Cheondong School in Daejeon was confirmed, 2 additional classmates were confirmed, and all 167th graders were examined.

One out of two additional confirmed students is in the same class as the first confirmed student, and the other one is different in class, but has been confirmed by a close contact test at the same academy.

In the fifth grade, when a confirmed student came out, I had been attending school since 8th of last month.

If a classmate is infected during the school day, this is the first case of infection.

[Yoo Young-Eun/President of Cheondong Elementary School in Daejeon: The location of one student is at the far end of the window and the location of the other student is right in front of the school table… .]

Quarantine authorities are conducting detailed epidemiological investigations to determine the path of infection.

[Huh Tae-jung/Daejeon Mayor: There is a statement that you visited the house and played with it, so it is necessary to examine whether the infection occurred on campus.]

School suspension was imposed on the school, and a set of prohibitions were imposed on 107 schools, such as school institutes and physical education centers, in certain student residence areas.


Fortunately, all 5th grade students who had undergone a thorough examination were negative.
