[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Korea Railroad announced on the 11th that it will conduct the written exam for new employee recruitment on the 14th at 24 test centers set up in four regions nationwide (Capital area, Chungcheong area, etc.).

About 43,000 candidates are expected to take the exam on that day. Depending on the field of application, candidates will take the exam at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3:30 p.m., respectively.

Korea Railroad is also implementing special quarantine measures to prevent infectious diseases on the exam day. Previously, Korea Railroad postponed the written exam schedule twice?from March 21 to April 25, and from April 25 to June 14?to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and protect examinees.

According to the special quarantine measures, all entrants to the test centers, including candidates, must wear masks, and those confirmed with COVID-19, symptomatic individuals under investigation, and those subject to quarantine are restricted from taking the exam.

Additionally, to prevent infection among candidates, Korea Railroad will control the test center entrance to a single point and deploy health personnel to conduct temperature checks and health questionnaires. Candidates with simple fever or respiratory symptoms will take the exam in a separately prepared isolation test room.

The number of candidates per test center will also be reduced from the previous 30 to 16?20. This allows desks to be arranged to secure a distance of more than 1.5 meters between candidates, and professional disinfection companies will disinfect before and after the exam.

A Korea Railroad official said, “We have prepared special quarantine measures so that everyone can take the exam with peace of mind,” and added, “We ask candidates for active cooperation in wearing masks and complying with infection prevention rules.”
