<Anchor> The



2021 college entrance exam will be held today (3 days).

The December SAT is the first since the SAT started in 1994.

The day is colder than the SAT in November, and we plan to ventilate often to prevent Corona 19.

Reporter Jeong Hye-kyung.

(Yes, it is listed at Gyeongbok High School in Seoul.) What is the atmosphere of the site?



<Reporter> The



atmosphere of the SAT exam center is quite different from the previous year.



The cheering fights of juniors disappeared due to the fear of corona infection, and the appearance of quarantine officials busy for fever testing of test takers stands out.



The number of candidates taking the exam today is 493,000, the minimum number ever.



Students taking the test must enter the designated test room by 8:10 am, but it is recommended that they arrive 30 minutes earlier than the deadline, as everyone must have a fever test before entering the test site.



According to the statistics from the Ministry of Education as of 0 o'clock yesterday, 35 confirmed corona19 and 404 self-quarantine who are taking the SAT, and they will take the test at separate testing centers such as hospitals and life treatment centers.



Even in the general test center, if the fever test result exceeds 37.5 degrees twice in a row, or if you have respiratory symptoms, you will be taken to a separate test room inside the test site to take the test.

Candidates are required to wear a mask throughout the exam.



In the event of symptoms, a KF80 or higher health mask is provided in a separate laboratory, but general examinees who do not have symptoms can wear a splash mask that they normally wear.



Still, in case of damage or loss, candidates are advised to bring an extra mask.



In addition, it is recommended to bring a thick coat to prevent the cold because the window is opened and ventilated every time the subject exam is over.



The use of water purifiers is prohibited, so you must also bring personal water.
