[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Jeju Special Self-Governing Province has designated 23 crowded places within the province, including Tapdong Square in Jeju City, Jaguri Coast in Seogwipo City, and funeral halls, as mandatory mask-wearing areas.

The Jeju Autonomous Police Unit will begin joint quarantine patrols starting from the 2nd.

This joint quarantine patrol was initiated following Governor Won Hee-ryong's directive on the 1st, stating, "The strongest vaccine against COVID-19 is the mask," and instructing the autonomous police unit to designate crowded places in the province as "mandatory mask-wearing areas" and to carry out proactive recommendations and guidance activities for all residents and tourists to wear masks.

The autonomous police unit has designated vulnerable locations for each of the seven district police stations and police substations and will commence full-scale quarantine patrols from the 2nd.

The quarantine patrol will conduct base patrols for 1 to 2 hours at locations and times with many users, and from 7 PM to 9 PM, joint patrols will be conducted with civilian cooperative organizations such as the United Youth Association, the Autonomous Crime Prevention Corps, and the Autonomous Police Unit Resident Volunteer Corps.

To strengthen Jeju-style social distancing, the autonomous police unit will patrol crowded places for the time being, combining enforcement against those not wearing masks with recommendations to wear them.
