[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Winter vacation school sports team training will be operated differently according to the level of social distancing.


The Ministry of Education announced on the 13th that it will implement the "Strengthened Management Plan for School Sports Teams During Vacation" to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


The density standards within school training facilities will be adjusted according to each stage. For sports teams with more than 10 members, at Level 1, training is generally allowed for two-thirds of the team but can be adjusted. At Level 1.5, two-thirds training per team must be observed. From Level 2, no more than 15 people are allowed, with a one-third principle at Level 2 and adjustments allowed within two-thirds range. At Level 2.5, training must comply with one-third density. At Level 3, individual training programs must be operated.


However, small sports teams with 9 or fewer members can operate if they strictly follow quarantine guidelines.


Student athletes must wear masks during indoor training and also wear masks during outdoor training if maintaining a distance of 2 meters or more is difficult.


Additionally, entry of outsiders into training facilities is restricted, sharing of personal items with others is prohibited, and the number of users in locker rooms and shower rooms must be limited at the same time.



COVID-19 diagnostic testing will be prioritized for all student athletes entering school sports team dormitories, and schools with 30 or more dormitory residents will conduct diagnostic tests biweekly. Operation of multi-person rooms exceeding 6 people per room is prohibited to secure distance between beds.
