[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Gyeongsangnam-do and the Provincial Office of Education are preparing measures to ensure that not a single examinee faces difficulties in taking the exam amid the COVID-19 situation ahead of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) on the 3rd.

This year, 29,078 examinees will take the exam at 106 general test sites, 10 separate test sites, and 1 hospital test site across 7 test districts in Gyeongnam.

They have established a ‘Support Plan for COVID-19 Confirmed and Quarantined Examinees’ to allow those confirmed or quarantined due to COVID-19 to take the CSAT, and have been preparing and operating an on-site management team since the 19th of last month.

Examinees confirmed with COVID-19 will take the exam at the hospital test site, while those under self-quarantine will take the exam at separate test sites by region. For self-quarantined examinees who pose a risk of infection, transportation support will be provided by health centers, fire stations, and other agencies.

Min Ki-sik, Director of the Provincial Integrated Education Promotion Team, emphasized, “We will do our best to prevent any disruption to the CSAT by cooperating with related departments and institutions on quarantine measures. In preparation for the university-specific evaluations conducted by each school after the CSAT, we plan to establish and operate a dedicated quarantine task force (TF) to prevent further spread after the exam.”
