○ In light of school opening today for high school grade 1, middle school grade 2, and elementary school grades 3 and 4 students, KCDC shared the statistics on school-aged confirmed cases and urged caution.

 

- During May, 48,889 cases of suspected COVID-19 cases were reported. 70 (0.14%) tested positive.

(35%) were family transmission, 14 (35%) were transmitted through hagwon (after-school private academies) or at-home tutoring lessons, and 4 (10%) were transmitted through public venues.

 

- Although no school-acquired infection has been found to date, contacts under incubation period are being monitored. With more students returning to school today, the authorities are working to prevent transmissions in schools.

 

 

○ Recently, COVID-19 transmissions are occurring through various venues such as religious small group meetings, PC cafes, after-school academies in Seoul Metropolitan Region (Seoul and nearby areas) with high population density and foot traffic. If the transmission continues and occurs at a highly crowded and confined space with a large number of people, a massive outbreak may occur at any time.

- Residents of the Seoul Metropolitan Region are advised to postpone social plans and gatherings and avoid using public venues such as restaurants and bars.

 

- Religious facilities are advised to cancel or postpone or switch to non-face-to-face methods all small group gatherings that involve droplet-producing activities such as conversing, singing, and eating together in confined spaces.

 

- If having an on-site service is unavoidable, the religious facility hosting the event must reduce the number of participants to ensure that participants can maintain proper distance, check people for fever and other suspected symptoms, ensure hand washing, and require mask wearing. Providing mass meal or activities that make respiratory droplets travel in air (such as singing, shouting, and chanting) should be avoided.
