[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Schools in Gyeongnam Province, which had been closed due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), resumed 'Level 1 in-person classes' on the 27th after a three-month hiatus.


Students walked to school holding their mothers' and fathers' hands, while teachers and staff were busy welcoming the students by installing thermal cameras, directing traffic, and greeting them to ensure their safety and hygiene.



Lee Hyung-seok, a teacher at Naegok Elementary School in Geoje, said, "I couldn't sleep well with half worry and half anticipation, but meeting the children feels more refreshing than any other morning." He added, "Since these are first graders I met for the first time today, I don't know who belongs to my class yet, but just seeing the children's expressions on the first day of school makes me excited."
