Governor Won Hee-ryong: "Chuseok and Grave Cleaning, Minimize Travel Between Seoul Metropolitan Area and Jeju"

Daedomin Message Announcement... "All Residents as Quarantine Agents, Let's Protect a Clean and Safe Jeju"

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, strongly urged residents of the Seoul metropolitan area to refrain from traveling to Jeju during the graveyard cleaning season and the Chuseok holiday period in a message to the public on the 1st.

This is based on the judgment that, due to the recent severe level of COVID-19 cluster infections in the Seoul metropolitan area and the continuous occurrence of confirmed cases in Jeju, stronger social distancing measures are necessary for proactive response.

Governor Won Hee-ryong recommended that Jeju residents in the Seoul metropolitan area refrain as much as possible from ▲visiting their hometowns for graveyard cleaning ▲visiting their hometowns during the Chuseok holiday.

Governor Won said, “Although the great national holiday Chuseok is just a month away, it is a fearful situation where we must worry about infections,” and emphasized, “Chuseok is a precious culture where family and relatives share warm affection, but with the serious resurgence of COVID-19, quarantine is the top priority.”

He continued, “To protect our families, neighbors, and community and to pass on the beautiful Jeju inherited from our ancestors to future generations, safeguarding Jeju’s cleanliness and safety is the mission of our time.”

He added, “We must overcome the current crisis well so that at the next holiday we can comfort and encourage each other for the efforts made so far,” and said, “The success of quarantine depends on the cooperation and participation of residents and tourists.”
