A Christchurch man with two sons teaching in South Korea says the school in Incheon where one of his sons works has been closed as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus. John Stringer said son James, 28, was teaching English in Incheon, while Asher, 31, was teaching English in neighbouring Seoul. "They just don't get time off in South Korea... The fact that the school has been closed means that the authorities, either school authorities or state authorities, are obviously concerned about contamination." He was "a little" concerned about his family members in South Korea, and was talking to them about the possibility of coming back to NZ.
