The omicron variant cases are decreasing as the weather gets warmer.
The daily numbers have been as
2,261 on April 3, 2,711 the next day.
It spiked back upto 4,159 on April 5. But it got down to 3,215 on April 6.
And it was 2,855 on April 7, 2,739명 on April 8, and 2,553 on April 9.
Finally, on April 10, it recored 1,711 after a long time.

Jeju had over 3 thousand cases of COVID19 for last two days as
3,771 on March 1
and 3,581 on March 2.
It should be a best idea if it keeps the numbers like this and declines afterwards.
But it's doubtful because there is a news about a new variant coming.
Isn't it bad though we are already warned that we have to live with the coronavirus?

The daily cases of COVID19 in Jeju keep the numbers between 3K ~ 6K.
It is like
March 25 4,082pax
March 26 5,010pax
March 27 3,000pax
March 28 3,329pax
March 29 5,744pax
March 30 5,074pax
and
March 31 3,873pax
The social distance rule changes to 10 people for gathering and restaurants&cafes opening till midnight since April 4. How will it have an influence on the current situation of the coronavirus?

The daily cases of COVID19 in Jeju keep around 5Ks for a few days as
5,571 on March 22,
5,030 on March 23, and
4,789 on March 24.

It is a good sign of improvement. But nobody can be sure, yet, as 'shy omicron' infection is still out there a lot.

The total cases to date of COVID19 positive in Jeju surpassed 120k on March 17th. It means one out of five or six people is infected, already.
(Jeju has to think of tourists when counting them, though it is still Jejuites who are getting infected in a massive scale.)
The conclusion of each day is
March 17 4,412pax Sum 103,557pax
March 18 6,393pax Sum 109,947pax
March 19 6,228 Sum 116,167pax
March 20 3,292 Sum 119,453pax
March 21 3,191 Sum 122,644pax.

The numbers have dropped dramatically after it reached the highest as many as 7,256 on March 15.
The cases were 4,571 on March 16, and 4,412 on March 17.
But it spiked to 6,393 on March 18.
Some say it is now the time to make a slow back to normal as the COVID19 has almost become an influenza.
And the vaccination rate of thr 3rd jab is 74.0% now, which helps the infected have minor symptoms.
Everybody but experts is expecting of the pandemic bevause of these facts.
How will the government decide after two weeks?

For statistics, it has been 35,230(52.4%) only in this March, while 26,465(39.9%) in February. 91.3% of the infected are from this period.
The health authorities translate this as a sign that the omicron variant COVID19 will reach very soon.
