A citizen from Daejeon who visited Nohwa and Bogil from the 18th to the 19th was confirmed as Daejeon case number 215 on the 23rd, and on the 27th, two residents of Cheongsando tested positive, raising concerns about the spread of COVID-19 in the local community.

Accordingly, Wando-gun has decided to control tourists by verifying addresses when selling ferry tickets to Cheongsando, Nohwa, Bogil, and Soan for the safety of its residents.

The restriction applies to residents who do not have an address registered in Wando-gun.

Shin Woo-cheol, the mayor of Wando-gun, said, “Considering the seriousness of the COVID-19 situation, we decided to restrict visits,” and earnestly requested cooperation from tourists and those originally from the area.

Wando-gun is doing its best to ensure the safety of users and prevent the spread of COVID-19 by disinfecting the ferry terminals and ferry cabins more than twice daily.
