The Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 29th that it has decided to delay the opening of 800 kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, and special schools, originally scheduled for the 9th of next month, to the 23rd.
The targets include 341 kindergartens and 459 elementary, middle, high, and special schools.
