There is also a class of candidates who are isolated at home and need to go to a special examination room to take the exam. The confirmed candidates take the college entrance examination in the hospital. According to the data released by the Korean government, there are currently 35 candidates with confirmed patients in South Korea, and 400 candidates are being quarantined at home. Moreover, this time, affected by the epidemic, all candidates in the general examination room must bring their own food and eat it on their own seats and tables. Drinking water can only be brought by themselves, and they are not allowed to leave the examination room without authorization. In fact, South Korea's college entrance examination should have started as early as last month, but due to the continuous spread of the epidemic, the college entrance examination time was pushed all the way to 65438+February.
According to the South Korean government, at this time, South Korea is facing a third wave of epidemic. Recently, there were 500 new cases in South Korea, which is more than 500 new cases in South Korea for two consecutive days, and it broke out in cram schools, schools and other places, which made many candidates more worried.
It is reported that the number of Korean college entrance examination candidates this year is also the lowest in the past years, which is lower than 500,000 for the first time, a decrease of 10% compared with last year. Some experts said that the decline in the number of candidates was mainly due to the decline in the fertility rate in South Korea, and the number of candidates may further decline in the future.
