Jeju Reports Zero COVID-19 Cases for Two Consecutive Days

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Park Chang-won] There have been no new COVID-19 confirmed cases in Jeju for two consecutive days.

According to Jeju Province on the 26th, no new confirmed cases were reported from the COVID-19 diagnostic tests conducted the previous day.

This is the first time since November 21 of last year, 65 days ago, that no new COVID-19 cases have been reported in Jeju for two consecutive days, and it is the first occurrence this year.

As of 11 a.m. on the day, no additional confirmed cases were identified, keeping the cumulative number of confirmed cases at 518. Among them, 97 patients were confirmed this month.

The quarantine authorities attribute this result to the strict compliance by residents and tourists visiting Jeju with enhanced social distancing measures such as the ban on gatherings of five or more people and mask-wearing.

The Jeju-style social distancing will be in effect until the 31st of this month.

Additionally, the quarantine authorities have determined that the Daejeon IEM International School and the IM Mission Society in the province, where large-scale group infections occurred, are not related facilities.

At the daily COVID-19 situation assessment meeting, Deputy Governor Choi Seung-hyun ordered, "Identify places where people live in close quarters for extended periods and intensively guide and monitor them until the end of January, and especially ensure thorough inspection of quarantine rules at nursing facilities with many elderly people aged 65 and over."
