[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 24th that it conducted a 'Video Simulation Drill for Confirmed Case Occurrence Preparedness' in anticipation of the upcoming school reopening.


The drill was conducted with the participation of a total of 144 people, including officials from the Education Support Office, principals (vice principals) of schools at all levels, health teachers, homeroom teachers, and local health center officials. It was carried out by connecting the situation room on the 5th floor of the Jeonnam Provincial Office and 22 city and county education support offices via video conference with the cooperation of Jeonnam Provincial Government.


Additionally, six members including epidemiologists from the Jeonnam Provincial Government and the Jeonnam Infectious Disease Support Group participated in planning the simulation drill and preparing scenarios tailored to the school circumstances, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the drill.


The drill assumed a situation where confirmed cases occur at schools after reopening and was conducted in four stages to practice response procedures. The Jeonnam Infectious Disease Support Group provided feedback to assist participants' understanding.



Kim Seon-chi, Director of the Physical Education and Health Division, said, "Considering the recent downward trend in COVID-19 confirmed cases, I cautiously expect that school reopening will be possible soon," adding, "I hope the video simulation drill will be of great help in effectively responding to unexpected confirmed cases after school reopening."
