[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong announced on the 25th that he will return to normal duties following the negative test result for COVID-19 of Sim Jae-cheol, floor leader of the United Future Party.

Governor Won stated on his Facebook that "I realized many things while voluntarily refraining from outside activities."

As a Supreme Council member of the United Future Party, Governor Won often stayed close to Floor Leader Sim, and upon learning that Sim had come into contact with a confirmed case, he entered self-quarantine.

He shared, "During self-quarantine, I couldn't sleep properly. My family, those around me, and people connected to me each worried whether they themselves might become self-quarantined or victims, and had to endure some anxious times. Experiencing even briefly the pain and anxiety that countless infected and self-quarantined people go through allowed me to vividly feel their suffering."

Governor Won added, "Taking this valuable experience as an opportunity, I will more thoroughly oversee and lead every corner of the field for strict quarantine measures. I also urge all residents to strictly follow hygiene rules so that we can overcome this situation quickly."
