Notes on COVID-19 precautions in Jeju
1) Given the upcoming national holiday of Chuseok (Sept. 30~Oct. 4), Jeju Province is anticipating up to 200,000 domestic visitors during that time. Governor Won Heeryong has asked for the public’s cooperation in following strict COVID-19 prevention measures, including not traveling to Jeju if they are in any way unwell, and to ensure they follow mask use and other protocols (see #2).
2) From Sept. 11 most public spaces are subject to mandatory mask use and temperature checks. Fines of up to 100,000 won are in effect for non-compliance and apply to islanders and tourists alike.
