추석 연휴에 전국 #유일 유동인구가 전년 대비 5.8% 늘었다는데... 2주간 부디 아무 일 없기를... #제주도 #청정도시 #코로나19 #안전지역

JTO, Jeju Tourism Organization, announced the analysis of the visitors to Jeju during Chuseok holidays. From the result,

#jeju is the only region that saw the increase of #visitors by 5.8% during the #chuseok #holiday
It has seen no more new cases of #COVID19 positive for nearly three weeks. It doesn't have any #patient now.

As holiday seekers are rushing to Jeju, people on the island and health authorities are on edge for the fear of the coronavirus spread.

Governor Won Hee-ryong on Thursday pleaded to people not to make a trip to Jeju if possible.

This is because it is expected that about 180,000 tourists will visit during the golden week starting from Buddha's Birthday on April 30, Labor day on May 1st, and all the way through Children's Day on May 5th.

In his announcement, Gov. Won worried loosened social distancing may cause the second explosion of COVID-19. He said "We cannot let our guard down until a vaccine is coming onto the market. (…) Jeju will keep border-level strong quarantine system without a break."

He added that, for the visitors even after his appealing, they should be prepared to "actively protect Jeju Island" while here. He said that all of them should wear face masks at times and if they begin to have any symptom, to seek out medical advice immediately.

He along with Jeju officials will be on special alert for the period, he added.
