Sacheon Office of Education Conducts Infectious Disease Crisis Response Drill

Participation in Role-Playing Drills by Members of Each School Level

Sacheon Office of Education in Gyeongnam announced on the 11th that it held the '2024 Infectious Disease Crisis Response Simulation Training' in the main conference room.

This simulation training was conducted to strengthen the ability to respond to infectious disease crises in schools, with over 60 elementary school administrators and infectious disease officers from the local area participating.

Sacheon Office of Education is conducting an infectious disease crisis and response simulation training.

Due to the recent spread of pertussis, Sacheon City Public Health Center provided information on infectious disease prevention and management in schools before the start of the training. In addition, Professor Yoo Seokju from Dongguk University College of Medicine was invited to give a lecture on the school infectious disease response system, followed by a tabletop discussion-based drill using a virtual scenario.

The simulation training was organized into seven groups, with participants taking on roles such as education office and school administrators, infectious disease officers, homeroom teachers, administrative office heads, and quarantine agency officials. Through discussion, they demonstrated how to respond to each stage of an infectious disease, from its introduction and spread to the conclusion, according to the situation.

Song Sookkyung, Superintendent of Sacheon Office of Education, said, "Today's simulation training was a valuable opportunity to review the school's infectious disease response system. I ask that all schools ensure each member is well aware of their roles in the event of an outbreak so that responses can be smooth and proactive."
