Is it getting bettet at all with COVID19 in Jeju?
Jeju made a new record of 64 cases(#2079~2142) of infection on August 15th. This came after 39 on the 14th and 55 on the 13th.
Community contraction led to this result. The biggest is from a private academy of middle school students. 28 people(#2079, 2080, 2082~2085, 2088, 2091, 2092, 2094, 2106~2108, 2110, 2113~2115, 2118~2121, 2123, 2124, 2126~2128, 2132, 2134) were influenced, among them, 24 are students.
Jeju daycare center added 1(#2095), and social gatherings did 4(#2102, 2103, 2109, 2129).

The problem is that there can be more. And it is highly possible as students got infected.
So, Jeju government decided to take the social distance regulations to Level 4. This takes effect as the midnight of August 17th. You cannot hang out with more than 3 people after 6pm as a result. Many harsher rules will apply.

Vaccination is undergoing. However, even the vaccinated can't be sure of safety as variants are spreading over.
For now, wearing a mask and keeping away from crowds are the best option.
Let us keep in healthy!

Jeju is facing the hardest time with COVID19 ever since the outbreak last year.
It seemed it was getting control over it as the daily cases came around 10.
But, it rebounded to 28 cases(#1890~1917) on August 10th, 23 cases(#1918~1940) on the 11th. Then, it got doubled to 44(#1941~1984) on the 12th, and 55(#1985~2039) on the 13th.

So, Jeju cases surpassed two thousands in total at last. July saw the most infections ever. It is unclear it will come to a rest as summer vacation is still hanging on.

The continuing community infection is another reason of making the situation look uncertain.
