Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said on the 23rd, “Please prepare the new semester class method and school quarantine strategy in advance in consultation with the quarantine authorities.” As the head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Jung Eun-kyung as well as Prime Minister Chung mentioned in-person classes, interest is focused on whether to expand in-person classes for the new semester.
At a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters in Seoul, Prime Minister Chung discussed the issue of prolonging remote classes. “Based on the experience of the past year, the research results and opinions of various fields should be thoroughly reviewed.”
Prime Minister Jeong said, “There are concerns about learning gaps due to the prolonged distance classes, and the burden of caring for parents is increasing.” According to a paper recently released by Commissioner Eun-kyung Chung with a research team at Hallym University Medical School, only 2.4% of confirmed children and adolescents from May to July last year were infected at school.
Prime Minister Jeong said, “If the extent of the outbreak in the community is not serious and only the quarantine rules are followed, the school is unlikely to be a major cause of the spread of infection,” he said.
Prime Minister Chung said, “Most religious groups and believers have cooperated well with the government’s quarantine guidelines.” He also said that he had to consider that he could give. “The government will do its best to manage quarantine, and demanded that both the denomination and the Shinto be an example of quarantine.
