[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Goyang City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 2nd that all 747 individuals tested negative in the school-wide COVID-19 screening conducted at Juyeop High School after a student was confirmed positive for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).



According to health authorities, the COVID-19 testing at the high school began due to family transmission from a confirmed case in Cheonan City. On the 29th of last month, three family members classified as close contacts of a confirmed case in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, were tested and confirmed positive on the same day. Among them, it was confirmed that a child attending Juyeop High School had attended school on the 25th and 28th of last month. Consequently, not only the contacts but also students and staff who attended school on those days underwent COVID-19 screening, resulting in all 747 individuals testing negative.
