[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Sogang University temporarily closed a building visited by a confirmed case of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


On the 6th, Sogang University announced, "It has been confirmed that a COVID-19 positive individual accessed the Rich Science Building (R Building)," and "In accordance with national quarantine guidelines, the Rich Science Building will be temporarily closed from today until 7 a.m. on the 8th."



The R Building was the site of the early admission essay exam held the previous day. However, it was reported that the exam location and the area where the confirmed case stayed were on different floors, so their paths did not overlap.
