On the 31st, two enrolled students were confirmed positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), leading to the closure of Yangji Elementary School in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province. On the 1st, the school gates remained firmly shut. The confirmed students are grandchildren of the pastor of Ilsim Vision Church in Anyang and had traveled to Jeju Island from the 25th to the 27th with pastors, church members, and families from 12 churches in the Gunpo and Anyang areas. Notably, one of the confirmed students, a second grader, attended school on the 28th. In response, health and education authorities decided to suspend attendance for two weeks from the day the student attended school to prevent the spread of the infectious disease and to protect the health of students and staff./Anyang=Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
