				| My hogwon says if I or other teachers have fever, we have to go to hospital to get a check? If I have the swine-flu, can't I stay at home (if it's not terrible), or a I forced by Korean law to stay segregated in the hospital?? The whole frenzy just scares me...

				| No clue, but you should have health insurance.  Most visits are a few thousand won.  So a general visit is a couple bucks. 
 At my school I get sick time off if I have a note, I take personal days if I dont.  Swine flu or not I'd rather have my personal days to tack onto a vacation block.
 
 If you dont have insurance then who knows as they have their own rules and you might not be completely legal.
