[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] As the spread of COVID-19 has become uncontrollable recently, the government raised social distancing to Level 2 starting from the 23rd.

According to Wando County on the 24th, Wando, a clean area free from COVID-19, is seeing many tourists visiting during the vacation season, and especially Cheongsan Yeoseodo is attracting many fishing visitors from Seoul and Gyeonggi.

From the 15th to the 17th, over 100 fishing visitors arrived at Yeoseodo over three days, causing a shortage of guesthouses.

Accordingly, the residents of Cheongsan-myeon Yeoseodo held a village meeting on the 19th and resolved to restrict entry of outsiders for seven days from the 21st to the 27th to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The entry restriction will be reviewed for extension depending on future circumstances.

Cheongsan Yeoseodo has 53 households and 78 residents, and is an isolated island located 39 km from Wando-eup. It previously imposed entry restrictions from March 19 to June 4 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Wando County is conducting fever checks at major county gateways such as Wando Bridge, Gogeum Bridge, Haenam Ttangkkeut Port, and Wando Passenger Terminal to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
