칸막이 급식실, 짝꿍없는 책상...80일만의 등교 위한 학교 방역, 어떻게?<br /><br />From fever checks to extra distance between classmates, one school in the city of Daegu shows us how to return to school in the COVID-19 era.<br />Our Choi Jeong-yoon is there.<br />Daegu was once the hardest hit city in the country... with over 200 school staff and students infected with COVID-19. The city has come up with strict disease prevention measures to successively manage the reopening of schools.<br />"Keeping distance is the most important thing. There won't be a single day that the entire school will be in the same place at the same time. Arrival times and break times will differ."<br />Students will have their temperatures taken regularly: once at the front gate, with a thermal sensor in the hall, and by their teachers in the class.<br />Students don't sit next to each other in the classroom. Instead desks are arranged in an examination row... keeping at least a meter between each desk to avoid close contact.<br />"During class, students and teachers must all wear masks. I will refrain from teaching at close distance."<br />Teachers will have to disinfect door knobs regularly to prevent any possibly infected student from spreading the virus. The class will be kept at a low temperature,... with educators constantly ventilating the area. Hand sanitizers, masks, gloves and a thermometer will be kept in the corner of the classroom.<br />"Students must also keep their distance during lunch time. In order to minimize contact and prevent infections, schools have installed transparent partitions on the dining hall tables."<br />They will sit on one side, facing the same direction, or in a zig-zag leaving the front and side empty. To avoid infection through droplets,... sharing water is prohibited and each student must bring their own separate spoon and chopsticks.<br />"Students with a temperature over 37-point-5 degrees Celsius, a sore throat or a cough must go home. Additional symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and loss of taste or smell have been included."<br />Students who have symptoms have to wait for guardians at the temporary observation room.<br />Those who've been previously confirmed to have the virus will have to get tested again before coming to school.
