Jeju had visitors as many as 196,138 during the golden week from April 29th till May 5th this year, Jeju Economy reported on Wednesday.
This is a reboost considering the decreasing numbers in the previous 3 months. But it is very sharp fall as much as 37.8% from the same month last year when had 315,186 visitors, it pointed out.
This is because of the coronavirus pandemic, it analyzed, as January saw 10.5% increase from January 2019, just before the outbreak.
As positive points like no new cases over 3 weeks and the first patient, who has been treated in hospital lomgest, was dischared, and negative i.e. the big wave of tourists may result in the second wave and schools reopen coexist, the coming 2 weeks or a month will be quite critical for the covid19 quarantine in Jeju.
Jeju officially announced that it will keep intensive 'social distancing' rule longer till May 18th to prevent community infection from happening, two days ago.

 Wow! It has been 13 days since Jeju had its 13th case of coronavirus confirmed on April 13th. This marks it again(!) as one of the safest place in South Korea from COVID-19. It is considered coronavirus-free for keeping '0' infection in 14 days. The 13th patient was allowed to return home on April 26th afternoon, according to Jeju.

 Jeju made the first history on March 18th when was the 14th day since the 4th patient tested positive on March 4th. It was broken on March 24th, when a couple was revealed to be infected after returning from Spain.

 More worries are from the 2 cases of the 1st & the 6th patient, who were re-hospitalized after being discharged as they got resulted in coronavirus negative. Some has been treated in-house for over 14 days, e.g. the 5th was still in bed after she was transferred to hospital on March 24th.
