K-방역 모델과 향후 과제 고찰: COVID-19 대응 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

Discouraged and Somber. The global villages have now become the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic with more reported cases and deaths than any other worldwide virus cases such as SARS and MERS. The purpose of this study explores so called K-Epidemic Prevention Model based on the Korea’s experiences against the COVID-19 outbreak. As the Korea’s prevention framework has been developed from the SARS and MERS experiences, its prevention performances of the COVID-19 become one of bench-marking examples by transparent and effective prevention policies. Although the pandemic prevention framework requires more development, otherwise, the study would provide a basic data and analysis of how to be more prevention effective. Also, this study suggests 7 tasks of K-prevention model to be completed as a representative prevention system against the future disease. Some of tasks are not covered in detail because the COVID-19 is still in process. Cited Korean data and indicated expectations that the other countries situation would align similarly with that of Korea. Based on this case study, it looks forward to helping on scholars and related managers’ decisions for effective prevention management of the COVID-19 in the near future.
