Golf Course Caddy Also Confirmed Positive in Jeju... 135 Contacts Including Staff Undergoing Full Investigation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Park Chang-won] One confirmed case has been reported at Jeju Cypress Country Club (hereinafter Cypress CC).

According to Jeju Special Self-Governing Province on the 29th, around 8 p.m. the previous day, A, a game assistant (caddie) at Cypress CC, tested positive.

Following the confirmation, comprehensive testing was conducted on golf course staff and other contacts who had been in contact with A. Cypress CC closed for the day.

The quarantine authorities set up a walk-through screening clinic at Cypress CC and began diagnostic testing from 10 a.m. on the same day for about 135 people related to A (59 staff members, 76 game assistants).

Additionally, through epidemiological investigations, they are identifying more contacts along A’s movement path, including at the golf course.

It was found that A began experiencing symptoms such as body aches from the 19th and visited the screening clinic at Hanmaeum Hospital in Jeju City on the 27th.

Since the epidemiological investigation is conducted from two days before symptom onset, A’s investigation period starts from the 17th.

A is confirmed to have worked for five days from the 17th to 19th and from the 21st to 22nd.

The quarantine authorities believe the possibility of further transmission is low because the golf course strictly enforces mandatory mask-wearing and all contact with users occurs outdoors.

However, all 12 users who played rounds accompanied by A were notified of the situation and instructed to undergo testing.
