Busanjin High School is one of the 62 general test sites in the Busan area.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to focus on CSAT disinfection by forming a 'CSAT Disinfection Task Force' led by the Deputy Superintendent, which will handle disinfection tasks, test site facility inspections, and infectious disease situation management.

Superintendent Kim Seok-jun stated, "For examinees taking the CSAT under the unprecedented infectious disease COVID-19, we will do our best to manage and operate test site disinfection in cooperation with Busan City," and urged "educational families and citizens to actively cooperate for a safe CSAT by refraining from unnecessary gatherings or events."
