Gyeongnam Office of Education Supports 400 Dedicated Personnel for School Cafeteria Life Quarantine Management

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The Gyeongnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 22nd that it will support dedicated personnel for daily quarantine in school cafeterias to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The office will first assign 408 dedicated daily quarantine personnel to 391 schools, including standalone kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, and special schools, and plans to provide additional support where personnel are insufficient.

These personnel will carry out tasks to prevent COVID-19 infection, such as disinfecting door handles, tables, and chairs that come into contact during meal times, and guiding students to maintain social distancing.

Each school will complete the hiring of personnel before all students return to school and will receive assistance in operating the cafeteria for one month.

Separately from the dedicated daily quarantine personnel in cafeterias, the office also plans to hire 1,279 personnel dedicated to disinfecting high-contact areas throughout the entire school space.

Park Jong-hoon, Superintendent of Education of Gyeongnam Province, said, "As confusion in cafeterias is expected to increase after all students return to school, we will spare no support to ensure students' safety and the early stabilization of school meals."
