- Abstract
- The aims of this study are to describe the key success factors of South Koreas response to COVID-19 and to prepare for the post-COVID-19 world in public health. The MERS-CoV outbreak in 2015 provided the country with opportunities to enhance its national public health capacity in responding to emerging diseases, particularly in the areas of governance, testing, and tracing strategies, public-private partnership, risk communication, and the legal system supporting the governments actions. This newly established system played a key role in South Koreas relatively successful response to COVID-19. In this study, I evaluate that response and propose public health policies with a view to preparing for the post- COVID-19 world.
