[Photo] Easing Social Distancing: Expansion of Elementary School Attendance

On the 19th, when in-person classes for kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide were expanded following the adjustment to Level 1 social distancing, children at Munbaek Elementary School in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, were sanitizing their hands as they went to school. According to the education sector, from this day forward, the number of students attending school in all regions nationwide will be increased to two-thirds capacity. Schools in the metropolitan area, large schools, and overcrowded classes must adhere to this standard, but non-metropolitan areas are allowed to adjust density according to their circumstances, making it possible for all students to attend school daily in a 'full in-person attendance' system. / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
