“Missing” to stay away from Jeju, Donghae and tourists

Jeju citizen Kim Mo (42) aired on the morning of the first day of the second day of the golden holiday with his family at Gimnyeong Beach in Juju-eup, Jeju City, and then got up in 10 minutes . This was because tourists who were not wearing masks were exiting the rental van that had just entered the parking lot, and there were not many people in the beach malls walking around with masks without joy. “I hadn’t passed Corona 19, but I was surprised to see so many people not wearing masks,” said Kim. “Isn’t it necessary to follow the minimum precautions?

It was not difficult to find “unarmed” tourists on Jeju Island. Social distance was not adequately observed not only outdoors, but also in multipurpose facilities such as restaurants and hotels. It was also due to the early summer weather, with a maximum daytime temperature of 23.8 degrees.

On this day, around 20 people gathered around the famous gourmet noodle restaurant located in Jeju city, waiting for a ticket, and some spoke to the party without wearing a mask. “There were many unmasked users in hotels, golf courses, restaurants, etc., where they were staying,” said one tourist, Park Mo (54). “There was no staff to deny entry or to guide the wearing of masks. Information was provided, but it was completely different outside the airport,” he said.

Furthermore, the atmosphere of the port of Unjin, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo-si was overcrowded with tourists trying to use a ferry that operated the famous southernmost island of Marado and Cheongbo Field. A crowd of crowds lined the road with tangle lines at the marina. Most of the passengers wore masks while wearing masks on the passenger ship, but after arriving in Marado and Gapado, almost all tourists enjoyed the trip taking off the masks due to the hot weather.

This atmosphere was the same in the main tourist attractions on the east coast. On this day, the daytime temperature in Wondeok-eup, Samcheok-si, Gangwon, recorded the highest rate in the country at 33.6 degrees (at 2:30 pm) this year. Due to the warm weather, there were so many crowds on some beaches that it was difficult to maintain a gap, and many of them did not wear masks. It wasn’t that he was wearing a mask and trying to keep his distance from the party, it was almost as a way to shake off the accumulated congestion.

With crowds of people, some beaches, cafes and restaurants in the East Sea were not kept for more than 2m. As a result, local governments that use famous tourist spots cannot release the tension. In particular, it was worrisome if the news of the occurrence of one in Gyeongbuk the same day after 0 confirmed domestic persons (30 days) was also fueling their disarmament. Seung-Hwan Oh, 65, chairman of the Gangneung Promotion Committee, said: “There are some places where it is difficult to maintain a certain distance due to the sudden increase in tourists visiting the beach due to the high temperature.” I did it

Jeju Island quarantine authorities also promoted observance of quarantine regulations by putting masks on 40 stone harubangs, including Jeju airport and tourist sites, to guide tourists to wear masks before the golden holidays. , but they did not maintain the tension threads without being properly observed. I can’t The number of tourists who visited Jeju for two days on the 29th and 30th of last month reached 80,000, more than 30,000 more than originally expected. The number of Korean tourists (46,579) who visited Jeju on the 30th of last month is 17.7% more than in the same period last year (3.9,732). This is the first time that the number of tourists has increased compared to the previous year since February 21, when a new crown depressor occurred in Jeju.

Governor Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju, said: “I hope that they will strictly follow the precautionary measures so that all Korean citizens can prove that they are subject to quarantine, even if they alleviate the social gap. If he receives a confirmed ruling while hiding and traveling, he has no choice but to assume civil and criminal responsibility. ”
