South Korean Schools Closed Until April 6th
It will be interesting to see if the schools actually do reopen on April 6th:
South Korea said Tuesday it will be postponing the new school year for another two weeks as it fights COVID-19 group infections that have occurred at churches, hospitals and even Zumba classes.
Under the measure, the new school year at kindergartens and elementary, middle and high schools nationwide will begin on April 6, five weeks later than in normal years, according to the education ministry.

I guess that’s public schools only: the hagweons in the building where I work are back to conducting classes. Gotta worry about that bottom line, I guess, even if that means risking lives. Hell, I’m still going to work, and I work in the R&D section of a large hagweon!
I think a much better decision would be to have both regular schools and hagweons to move online as they both have done in China.
