Density standards applied to the school sports department during winter vacation [표 교육부]
The number of people who can train in one space is limited according to the distance level. In the current distancing step 2.5, training personnel should be limited to one-third of the total. If you go down to the second stage, you can operate up to two-thirds flexibly.
In step 1.5, the training limit is increased to two-thirds of the total. When the first stage is applied, the two-thirds limit remains in effect, but adjustments are made possible, effectively eliminating the limit. If it is upgraded to the third stage, group training is prohibited and the training is switched to individual training.
The Ministry of Education suggested training by grade, jet lag by position, and bi-day training as a way to reduce the density. The density limit also applies to shared facilities such as changing rooms and shower rooms.

Small-scale sports teams with 9 or less people are not limited in density. The Ministry of Education said that it can be operated freely if the quarantine rules such as distance or wearing a mask are followed. It can be interpreted that the guidelines of the quarantine authorities, which allow no more than 9 people to operate indoor sports facilities at the same time, were applied mutatis mutandis.
Even if the density standards are observed, the maximum number of training personnel cannot exceed 15. For example, it is impossible for two soccer teams to face each other in one space. Even when training according to density standards, you should always wear a mask.
Prohibition of field training… Diagnosis test for all dormitory residents
In principle, field training and playing with other schools are prohibited during vacation. This is because Corona 19 can spread while moving to other areas or schools. The Ministry of Education guided that if absolutely necessary, prior approval must be obtained from each provincial office of education.
The management of dormitories in the school sports department where there are cases of group infection will be strengthened. According to the Ministry of Education, about 1,800 students from 100 schools will enter the dormitory of the sports department during this vacation.
Before entering the dormitory, all students must undergo a corona19 diagnostic test. In schools with more than 30 employees, all students undergo diagnostic tests every two weeks. In the dormitory, the operation of shared rooms exceeding 6 people is prohibited.
