On the 18th, 30,127 examinees in Gyeongnam are scheduled to take the CSAT, which will be conducted simultaneously nationwide.

Depending on the situation of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the test sites will differ according to the type of examinee. Gyeongnam will operate 105 general test sites, 10 separate test sites, and 1 hospital test site.

General examinees will take the test at general test sites, but examinees who show symptoms on the day will take the test in separate test rooms. Examinees under self-quarantine will take the test at separate test sites, and confirmed cases will take the test at hospital test sites. For separate test sites for self-quarantined examinees, asymptomatic examinees will be separated into general test rooms, and symptomatic examinees will be separated into separate test rooms.

Pre- and post-CSAT quarantine measures were also announced. According to the Ministry of Education guidelines, a special quarantine operation period will be conducted from the 4th, two weeks prior, focusing on quarantine inspections at establishments accessible to private academies and examinees. Additionally, from the 11th, one week prior, all high schools will switch to remote classes, and on the day after the CSAT, the 19th, remote classes are recommended considering school quarantine, dormitory, and meal operations.

Although desk partitions will not be installed in the test rooms, paper desk partitions will be installed considering that masks will be removed during lunchtime.

The number of examinees per test room is 24.

Hong Jeonghee, Director of Career Education, stated, "Although the CSAT will be conducted under the COVID-19 situation again this year, we will do our best to establish a stable testing environment so that our examinees can fully demonstrate their abilities."
