Teaching staff must receive 2 doses of vaccines for at least 14 days before entering the campus. If individuals receive the second dose of vaccine in less than 14 days, they must provide a negative nucleic acid test (PCR) report or rapid antigen test report within 3 days. This must be provided once a week until individuals get the second dose of vaccine for 14 days.

Usually, parents and visitors are not allowed to enter the school. If there is a need to enter do so, it will be handled in the same way as the practitioners. If one cannot get vaccinated due to personal physical factors, a doctor's certificate must be attached.
