At an elementary school in Seoul, state-of-the-art disinfection equipment was installed at the entrance of the first floor of a building.
It also has a function to measure body temperature by recognizing a person's face, and to shake off dust and viruses from the body.
If there are any suspicious symptoms, we will report again with thermometers inside and outside the classroom, and change the meal plan to a designated seat system to identify students who have come into contact with an infection within the school.
[Kim Ji-yeon/Seoul Mullae Elementary School Head Teacher: He said that close contact should be distinguished at the school level.

I received a box of rapid antigen kits to be distributed to students tomorrow.
It is the responsibility of the teachers to distribute them one by one in a plastic bag.
The Ministry of Education left the school to decide whether to go back to school or take remote classes.
Most of the decisions are made through a parent-teacher conference, but there are no clear standards and decisions are often delayed.
[Primary school parents: I made a decision in a hurry, so I don't have to use aunt, but it's hard to find because it's controlled like this.]
Each school has different policies for entering self-examination results in the 'Student Health Self-Assessment App'.
[Primary school parents: Some schools ask you to do it compulsory, and some schools ask you to do it if you have symptoms.
But our school doesn't have any guidelines yet.
Each school is different.]
The Ministry of Education explained that schools would not force a test by checking the self-diagnosis app and contacting students who did not take the test.
