For two days, on the 17th and 18th, tens of thousands of people flocked to famous national parks across the country to enjoy the “October autumn leaves.” There are also several hikers who climb the mountain without wearing a mask. It is very probable that the expansionary trend concentrated in the metropolitan area will spread to the non-capital area. As of 6 p.m. that day, there were 53 new cases across the country.
◇ At least 29 confirmed patients in the metropolitan area … Naked hikers on top of the mountain in the metropolitan area
According to local governments in the metropolitan area like Seoul on the 18th, 29 new confirmed cases occurred in metropolitan areas like Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon at 6pm on the day. In Seoul, 10 new confirmed cases occurred, including three in Yongsan-gu, two in Gangnam-gu, and one in Gwanak, Nowon, Gangdong, Dongjak, and Eunpyeong-gu. In Yongsan-gu, three additional confirmed cases came out that day. According to Yongsan-gu, it is estimated that all patients 137 and 138 in the area were infected by contacting patient 136 in Yongsan, a family member. They were tested the day before, tested positive at 9am that day, and were transferred to Boramae Hospital in the afternoon. Yongsan patient 139, confirmed at 11 am this day, is believed to be an overseas infection. The patient entered the country through Iran and Qatar, he is in self-isolation and there is no movement.
There were also two confirmed cases in Gangnam-gu. Two residents of Segok-dong, Gangnam-gu tested positive. These two were confirmed at the Gangnam-gu Public Health Center because family members living together developed symptoms such as coughing.
In Gwanak-gu, where the highest number of confirmed cases were found in the Seoul area, an additional person tested positive. According to Gwanak-gu, it is estimated that Gwanak No. 442 confirmed that day was infected by contact with a member of Gwanak No. 441’s family.
Additionally, a Nokbeon-dong resident, Eunpyeong-gu, was quarantined at the Red Cross Hospital after testing positive for Corona 19 that day.

Symptoms developed on day 16 during self-isolation, and testing was performed the day before and confirmed at 9 am that day. There were also confirmed cases in Nowon-gu, Dongjak-gu, and Gangdong-gu.

Also of concern is that many hikers flock to Seoul’s main trails such as Mount Cheonggye and Mount Bukhansan this weekend. Above all, there were many hikers who climbed the mountain without wearing a mask. Hikers wear masks all the way to the entrance of the mountain, but most of them don’t wear masks when seriously climbing the mountain.
This is because the breathing is short and the physical consumption is great. Kim Dong-hyeon, 40, a resident of Gyeonggi province, said: “I went to a mountain in Gyeonggi-do this weekend and most of the hikers wore masks only at the entrance of the national park.” “I saw few people with masks on top of the mountain. He noted that he rarely followed quarantine rules, such as sharing food and taking group photos. “
The situation in the metropolitan area remains dangerous. Corona 19 has shown a relatively stable pattern after the Chuseok holidays, but elements of anxiety persist, as the decline in the metropolitan area is unclear. In the first stage of social distancing, if the quarantine tension drops, the spread of infection can reoccur at any time.
In a regular briefing on the 18th, Park Neung-hoo, the first deputy director of the Central Headquarters for Security and Disaster Countermeasures (Minister of Health and Welfare) said: “There are still some disturbing elements.” In particular, the Seoul metropolitan area does not show a clear calm due to the situation.

Another confirmed case occurred in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do. He is 40 years old and has been in Switzerland as case 156 (45) confirmed in the province of Jeolla del Norte.
Despite this situation, it is difficult to ensure the spread of Corona 19 also in the non-metropolitan area. This year, meteorological authorities and national parks started with Mount Odae and Mount Seorak this week ΔChiaksan October 23 ΔJirisan October 24 ΔGyeryongsan October 30 ΔHallasan November 1 ΔMudeungsan November 6 ΔNaejangsan November 8 Leaves are expected fall peak during the day.
In late October and early November, the major national parks in the non-metropolitan area are expected to be crowded. Quarantine authorities plan to reinforce quarantine management by assigning quarantine staff at major tourist spots with local governments and guiding quarantine rules to prevent possible accidents across the country. Chartered bus transport companies are obliged to manage the passenger list through the electronic access list (QR code) when operating short-term chartered buses.
Additionally, quarantine should be carried out before and after vehicle operation, and hand sanitizers and masks should be provided in the vehicle. Drivers must guide and confirm quarantine regulations, such as wearing a mask and refraining from talking or eating. However, these quarantine rules apply only to the mountain transfer process, and the problem is that they lack cohesion during the mountaineering process.
