Corona 19 is spreading rapidly in schools. The problem is that students who have been diagnosed transmit the corona to friends and family, leading to another infection. The Ministry of Education has decided to discuss again next week how to go to school for the second semester.

of related confirmed cases increased by 4 more within one day after 3 students were confirmed at the Busan Mechanical Technical High School.

Two parents of the confirmed student, one acquaintance who had contact with the parents, and one high school student who worked part-time with another confirmed student were added.

Corona 19 virus is rapidly spreading to the local community through the family and friends of the confirmed student.

Among the confirmed students, there is a member of Woori Jeil Church in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, and it is confirmed. There are also children of members of Sarangjeil Church in Seoul, who were judged.

To date, nine metropolitan and provincial offices of education, including Gwangju, Daegu, and Jeju, are planning full-scale classes for students in the second semester.

If social distancing is elevated to level 2, high school can only attend two-thirds of the enrolled students and one-third of the rest.

However, there are concerns that even if the distance distancing stage is maintained at the first stage as it is now, it is impossible for the second semester to go to school.

The Ministry of Education decided to reconsider how to go to school for the second semester with the quarantine authorities and the provincial superintendent within next week.
