5th grade student at Mukhyeon Elementary School in Jungnang-gu, Seoul was judged positive for Corona 19 last night (4th).

The student was confirmed on the same day as his mother, who was confirmed as the family of a call center employee confirmed on the 3rd.

The school immediately went on to inspect the students and staff, and decided to switch to online classes by the 17th.

At Tancheon Elementary School in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, 140 students are in the process of examination, including students whose first grade students have been confirmed and have overlapping school dates.

In Gwangju, where the second epidemic is spreading, the first elementary school student confirmed.

This student is believed to have been infected with a mother who attended Ilgok Central Church worship, which has been increasing recently, with her mother on the 28th of last month.

Gwangju City is also considering a three-step upgrade of social distance by increasing the number of confirmed persons only after the 27th of last month, mainly in religious facilities.

[Lee Yong-seop / Gwangju Mayor: We decided to upgrade the quarantine response system to three levels immediately when there are two-digit confirmed cases of regional infection for more than three consecutive days or when the situation is judged to be very severe.]

In the third stage, meetings of more than 10 people are prohibited and school and kindergarten classes are suspended.

Recently, it was decided to upgrade the social distance to the second stage from tomorrow in Jeollanam-do, which was influenced by the confirmation of the Gwangguk bowl.
