The Didim Center is a residential integrated support facility that provides services such as professional counseling therapy, experiential activities, education, career exploration, and self-reliance support to youth experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties. Currently, two centers are operating in Daegu and Yongin, and an additional center is planned to open in Honam next year.
On this day, Minister Jung will check whether quarantine rules for youth and unvaccinated individuals are being properly implemented and meet with on-site treatment and care leaders to discuss quarantine difficulties and other current issues.
The Didim Center requires incoming students to submit a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result issued within 48 hours, conducts fever checks more than three times a day, and performs weekly COVID-19 infection tests using self-testing kits.
