[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 18th that it will conduct proactive quarantine inspections for all schools in the district from the 19th to the 23rd to prepare for the 4th wave of COVID-19.


Recently, cases of COVID-19 infections among students and staff within schools have been increasing in other cities and provinces, and especially with the rise in confirmed cases centered in the Seoul metropolitan area, there are concerns about the 4th wave of COVID-19.


The Office of Education decided to conduct emergency quarantine inspections for all schools in the district to ensure the safety of students and staff and to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within schools.


For this inspection, the Office of Education formed a school quarantine monitoring team composed of education professionals.


During the quarantine inspection period, the school quarantine monitoring team will visit schools directly to check compliance with quarantine guidelines, adherence to related guidelines during educational activities, and conduct consultations after the overall COVID-19 quarantine inspection.



Lee Byung-kwan, Director of the Physical Education and Arts Convergence Education Division at the Office of Education, said, “In a situation where additional spread is feared due to the consecutive COVID-19 confirmations among students, staff, and their families in other cities and provinces, our Office of Education is thoroughly conducting school quarantine inspections and education on compliance with COVID-19 prevention rules for students and staff.” He added, “We hope that families also strictly follow personal quarantine rules, including wearing masks, conducting self-diagnosis of health status, refraining from attending school or work if COVID-19 clinical symptoms occur, and getting tested at screening clinics.”
