4. Difficult to punish mother and daughter from Gangnam for trip to Jeju
The symptomatic tourists were merely recommended to self-quarantine

The Blue House announced that it is difficult to punish the mother and daughter from Gangnam, who had taken a trip to Jeju Island despite evident symptoms of COVID-19.

Chung Dong-il, presidential secretary of social policy, replied as a formal response to the petition. The secretary said that it is regrettable considering the COVID-19 positive mother and daughter from Gangnam caused considerable damage in Jeju.

However, they are not subject to punishment as they were only recommended to self-quarantine.

On the petition board of the Blue House, more than 200,000 people signed the petition within a month stating that there should be punishment for the mother and daughter from Gangnam who traveled to Jeju without following quarantine rules.
