Saunas and high schools become epicenters for community infections of COVID19 in Jeju, Korea.

Jeju government has recently sent texts to residents with encouraging users of saunas to take PCR tests for the coronavirus. The saunas are mostly women's floors including ones in Ildo2-dong, Namwon-eup, Pyoseon, Yongdam-dong, and Seogwipo City.

The cases confirmed till now count to 50 as of the midnight of November 16th.

A nursery hospital in Jeju City became a victim, too, as it had 62 people infected.

High schools in Seogwipo City has got 42 cases as of the 17th.

This is making not only the authorities but people worry that the eased restrictions on social activities since COVID19 may be tightend again.

Worries accumulate as more cases of COVID19 are found faster than ever in Jeju.
No. 100 to 102 tested positive on December 9. These made the numbers of report on the day 11.
Case 100 & 101. Contacted case 93, who is a family with case 91. The case 91 is known to contract the virus through the community leaders from Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do.
Case 102. Worked together with case 76, who went to hospital on November 26 after being infected by closely encountering Gyeongnam case 481. Case 102 tested positive just before getting free from self-quarantine.

These are the last on December 9.

December 10 started very early with 3 new cases with COVID19.
Case 103. Contacted case 90 & 92 as a pastor at the church in Ara-dong. The holy place is becoming an epicenter. Jeju set up a walk-thru clinic there.
Case 104 & 105. Were in close range with case 93, who got infected from case 91 whose coronavirus came from the community leaders from Jinju.
Case 106. Participated in the 3 meetings held at the church with case 92.

Jeju case 107 is from a tourist from Seoul. This person arrived in Jeju on December 8 with 2 other people.
The traveler had symptoms the next day, and went for checking up Thursday.

It seems the community leaders group from Jinju, the church at Ara-dong, and visitors are 3 clusters of COVID19 infection. Things can go worse. Or better depending on how we deal with it.

Jeju confirmed 3 more cases of COVID19 on December 1.
No. 83 is a person who is on 'One Month In Jeju' vacation. It had symptoms and had a test around at noon.
No. 84 and No. 85 got infected by contacting previous patients who got the coronavirus from the community leaders from Gyeongsangnam-do.
It seems now that Jeju is not safe from COVID19 any more.

Jeju is now facing a new danger of COVID19 as the 15th case is confirmed and a group of tourists tested postive after returning from a very recent trip to Jeju. The latter holds a worse possible fear to people.

Jeju Special Self-Governing Province on Sunday made a few announcements about the status of COVID19 related to the latest confirmation of the 15th patient and travellers from Gyeonggi area.

1. The 15th Case(F, 34)

She followed the public protocol for prevention of infecting other people. She made contacting others minimum, which resulted in only 25 including 2 family members. The others are passengers on her flight to Jeju(OZ8995). And she always wore a face mask.

2. Tourist Group From Gyeongi-do Province

They visited 15 places, and contacted 119 people during the trip from May 25 to May 27.

6(It isn't 9 as I wrote earlier) out of 25 tested positive after they went back home. This includes a primary school student who DID go to school on May 28. 

People are upset with the group as they visited Jeju in a big herd, which is not recommend in this coronavirus pandemic. They feel angry more with the fact that they are from churches in Anyang City & Gunpo City, as they have seen some churches didn't follow (central & local) governments' restrictions to hold off masses.

It isn't sure, but Jeju have had no community infection so far. That's why I believe, and hope there will be no new example set up from this.
