The 11th coronavirus patient, who was discharged from hospital a few days ago, showed positive result again after 6 days. The details are as above.
He is the 3rd, or 4th of such case in Jeju. This gives people a fear as it seems uncertain if one can be cured at all.
I hope he gets well soon, and everyone stay healthy, and this god damn Itaewon pandemic ends up small damages.

The whole Jeju island on Saturday night was shocked with the 14th coronavirus case confirmed. The new patient, a female in her 30s, tested positive for COVID-19 late that day after visiting King Club which is one of the latest epicenters.
According to Jeju office, she reported to the authority that she stayed there on May 5th, from 1230 am till 600 am while she was visiting Seoul. She came back to Jeju the next day via a flight. She didn't have symptoms till she went to a special test center at Jeju Healthcare Center on the 9th.

This made it worse as she has contacted as many as 140 people while she worked at a local skincare clinic. They are her colleagues including doctor(10), clients(124), bus drivers(4), and a clerk at a food material mart(1). The doctor and one workmate even had a fever, which turned out to be negative innthe end.
The local authority has done tests on 102 people till now, and got no positive result other than the 14th.
As worries are accumulating, Jeju government is practicing more intensified quarantine measures to put off the possible second wave. It also encourages whoever was in the same itineraries with the already confirmed patients to come forward to have a test.

 Jeju today marks D+15 since the last case of COVID-19 infection was confirmed. This makes Jeju, again, a uniquely safe place from the coronavirus as it has only one spread within the island, which was between family members, and no domestic contagion.

 The 13th patient tested positive on April 14th, and has been hospitalized for treatment since. Furthermore, it has been 2 weeks since the general election, which was considered to be a turning point for easing the present alert system of strict social-distancing. The Korean government is discussing if it can lift strict rules off like opening schools again as usual.

 As of April 29th morning, Jeju has had 13 confirmed cases, but 8 of them were already discharged. There are special cases of patients who got re-confirmed, 1st, 6th, and 11th. The 5th is very distinctive because she has been in hospital since March 24th. The 12th has also been in in-bed treatment for a long time since April 3rd.

 This coming holiday will be decisive time for fighting the virus as it is expected about 180 thousand tourists will visit Jeju.

The 5th, 6th, and 8th coronavirus patients will stay one week longer than expected.

According to Jeju Economy, one of the confirmed tested postive from the second check again after getting negative from the first one. Dr. Bae Jong-myon, director of the Jeju Center for Infection Diseases and Prevention(JeCI), on Tuesday at the joint briefing, told this to reporters. He said "Jeju cases are not serious ones, but minor or without symptoms. … One resulted in positive at the second test, while had negative at the first. This makes it hard to have them released from hospital."

This is not first-ever. The frist patient, who is a naval soldier, tested postive again on March 30th during the regular monitoring after he was discharged from hospital on March 23rd. His case was said to be the most unique as he had to stay in bed for over a month because his test results varied much.

 As of March 11th, Jeju has 4 confirmed coronavirus patients. One of them was released from the hospital on March 7th. 73 are being tested, while 31 self-quarantined.

 The problem now is that a woman in her 40s, who was confirmed positive in Seoul, is known to have visited Jeju on March 7th, last Saturday. Dongjak-gu Community Health Center informed Jeju of her infection and the itinerary, which is as below. Further investigation is going on.

■ 제주특별자치도가 코로나19 확진 판정을 받은 대구 지역 31번 확진자와 접촉한 도내 30대 남성이 도 보건환경연구원 진단 결과, 최종 음성 판정을 받았다고 밝혔다.

■ 도는 오늘(20일) 오전 9시 40분 경 질병관리정보시스템을 통해 대구시 중앙역학조사관 조사 결과 A씨가 대구 체류 중 31번 확진자와 접촉했다는 사실을 통보 받았다.

❍ 도는 의심사례 2유형*으로 간주해 선제적 대응 차원에서 2월 20일 11시 20분 경 보건소 구급차로 서귀포의료원에 이송해 검체 채취를 실시했으며, 보건환경연구원 검사 의뢰 결과 오후 16시 20분에 음성 판정 결과를 확인했다.

* 코로나19 대응지침 제6판 의사환자 2번: 확진환자의 증상발생 기간 중 확진환자와 접촉한 후 14일 이내에 발열 또는 호흡기증상(기침, 인후통 등)이 나타난 자

■ 특히 A씨의 코로나19 감염 여부를 파악하기 위한 상세 면담을 진행한 결과, 해당 남성은 지난 2월 9일까지 대구에서 거주하다 2월 10일 제주로 왔으며, 2월 11일부터는 도내 직장에 근무 중인 것으로 파악됐다.

■ 도는 의심사례 2 유형에 따라 검사결과 판정 시까지 서귀포의료원에 해당 남성을 격리 조치했으며 현재 음성 판정을 받았으나 오는 24일까지 A씨에게 자가 격리를 명령했다.

❍ 현재 A씨는 코로나19 관련 증상은 없는 상태이다.

❍ 또한 도는 접촉자와 함께 생활 중인 동료에 대해서도 대중교통 이용 자제 및 외출 자제를 권고하고 개인위생 교육을 철저히 준수할 것을 요청했다.

■ 현재까지 제주에서 코로나19 감염 검사대상자는 오전 10시 기준 총 171명(148명 음성)이며, 현재 검사가 진행 중인 23명을 제외하고 모두 음성판정을 받았다.

■ 도는 ‘감염병 확진자 제로(Zero)’로 청정지역을 유지하고 있지만, 지역사회 감염 확산에 대한 도민 우려가 높은 만큼 제주국제공항 국내선 도착장에 발열감시카메라를 추가로 설치하고 청정 제주지역 사수를 위해 만전을 기할 방침이다.

❍ 원희룡 지사는 이와 관련해 오늘 오후 제주국제공항을 찾아 국내선 입국장 발열검사에 대한 현장 점검에 나섰다.

❍ 이어 내일 오전에는 제주보건소를 방문해 지역사회 감염 방지를 위한 방역 대책 현황과 애로사항 등을 청취할 예정이다.

❍ 첫 양성 반응자로 밝혀진 남성은 지난 2월 13일 군부대 휴가를 위해 대구를 방문했다가 18일에 다시 입도한 대구광역시민으로 22세 남성으로 확인됐다.

❍ 22세 남성은 입도 후 부대 앞 편의점을 방문한 뒤 바로 공항 인근 부대로 복귀한 것으로 파악됐다.

❍ 해당 남성은 마스크를 착용해서 대구공항, 항공기, 제주공항, 택시를 이용해 제주공항 옆 항공부대로 이동했으며, 시내 이동은 없는 것으로 파악됐다.

❍ 지난 19일부터 목이 간지럽고 기침 증상이 나타나 바로 부대에서 격리조치가 이뤄졌다.

 도는 현재 역학조사관 즉시 대응팀을 출동시켜, 동선 확인에 나서고 있다.
