The quarantine authorities are looking into whether eight enrolled students have followed the quarantine rules during the after-school practice. The after-school practice they participated in was confirmed as a makeup-related class. There is a possibility that you were infected with Corona 19 as classes were held without wearing a mask properly during the makeup process.
The quarantine authorities are also finding out whether enrolled students infected with Corona 19 participated in another after-school class. In addition, a full corona 19 test is also conducted for all 1st and 2nd grade students and faculty members.
Immediately after the corona19 infection was confirmed in the school, 86 students and 26 faculty members who participated in the after-school course were tested in a related person investigation, of which 8 were confirmed.
