Gwangsan-gu TCS International School is located in a four-story building. The first floor of the building is the Presbyterian Church, and the fourth floor is a lodging facility, and the health authorities believe that the entire building is used by TCS International School.
The second floor of the educational facility where 109 confirmed cases were originally occurred is divided into six rooms, and the third floor is in the form of an auditorium.
Gwangju TCS International School confirmed patients had received camp training here, and accommodation was resolved on the 2nd and 3rd floors of a building in Jangdeok-dong, Suwan District, Gwangsan-gu, and the 4th floor of a building in Jingok Industrial Complex.
The structure and size of the rooms here are all different, and it turns out that as few as 3 people and as many as 11 people lived there.
The students here are not free to go out compared to other schools, but there are periodic outings, so it is impossible to rule out the quiet spread to their families and outside.
There are four educational facilities related to IM Mission in Gwangju, including Gwangju TCS International School, Buk-gu TCS Ace International School, Nam-gu TCS Tikuk International School, and Seo-gu Antioch Trinite CAS.
A city official said, “We are concerned about regional expansion, centered on church members such as Gwangju TCS International School,” and said, “We will do our best to prevent further spread through securing movement and epidemiological investigations for the members as fast as possible.” .
