 As of April 12th, Jeju has held a good control on COVID-19, novel coronavirus considering it has no new confirmed case since April 3rd(cf. the table below). And all the cases are related with outsiders rather than Jeju residents. This is unique as no community infection has occured. Is the clean environment of Jeju the main reason of it?

 Anway, the whole country has shown a great improvement of containing the crisis, people are beginning to go back to the normal life, if not the fullest, which can lead to a slow recovery of the economic activities. The Gov. Won Hee-ryong told reporters on Friday that Jeju will prepare to welcome domestic travellers expecting them to visit Jeju when they can not go aborad after the coronavirus is over. It seems that some already started to make reservations for rent-a-cars, hotels, etc. Plus, President Moon also said on his social media Friday that we can expect to get out of 'social distancing' into 'normal life + quarantine' if we spend safe Easter and election.

 Won said "It is highly possible that Jeju can be in a new danger unless we set the stronger quarantine system than at Incheon airport. … There, we will get details of border-level of disinfection procedures and higher steps ready."
