Gyeonggi Province Superintendent of Education Lee Jae-jung is holding a press conference.

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-jung, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, has ordered public officials to refrain from interpersonal contact except for official duties.

On the 28th, the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education announced that Superintendent Lee instructed all teachers and staff of institutions and schools under the Office of Education to refrain from interpersonal contact except for official duties and to comply with quarantine rules until the 11th of next month.

This measure was taken due to the increase in COVID-19 infection cases among students and faculty even after the implementation of social distancing level 2.

In response to the rapid spread of COVID-19 infections in the local community, the Gyeonggi Office of Education suspended in-person classes and switched to remote learning from the 26th of this month until the 11th of next month for all kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools in the province, except for third-year high school students.

Superintendent Lee emphasized, "For the normal operation of the second semester school curriculum, students, parents, and faculty members must all thoroughly participate in social distancing."

He also specially requested school principals and school corporations to ensure that teachers and staff of private schools in the province understand the purpose of this measure and actively participate.
