Before the drill, Yang Hyeryeon, Deputy Director of the Gyeongsangnam-do Infectious Disease Control Support Group, gave a lecture on the topic of 'Major Infectious Diseases in Gyeongsangnam-do and School Infectious Disease Prevention and Management.' The drill was also conducted through group role assignments, allowing school members to understand their roles and discuss step-by-step response measures.

Choi Misook, the Superintendent of Education, stated, “Schools are spaces where many students live together, so infectious disease prevention and management are most important to prevent in advance and detect early to block group outbreaks.” She added, “Please make efforts to ensure a prompt and systematic response in the event of an actual infectious disease crisis in schools through this drill.”
