Source of Picture = PixabayKorea has been conducting and evaluating mock drills on a nationwide basis for years to prepare for the influx of new infectious diseases into Korea and biological terrorism. Through this, the government supplemented the standard manual and guidelines for disaster crisis management of infectious diseases, inspected entry quarantine, management of state-designated inpatient treatment beds, and dispatched an immediate response team every year.Local governments, public institutions and medical institutions, as well as the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, participated in the simulation exercise. Without such preparations, the prevailing view is that it would have been difficult to expect such achievements. Thanks to this, patients could be classified and treated quickly starting with immigration quarantine after the introduction of Corona 19. A science-based quarantine system has also exerted force in the fight against Corona 19.

It was also important to make policy judgments that the government made a decision to pay for the Corona 19 inspection fee if confirmed. If the government had put hundreds of thousands of won on the patient for the examination, it might have been impossible to actively find a confirmed patient. Korea has a system that allows people to receive free inspections anytime, anywhere.

Korea's health insurance system has a lower guarantee rate than advanced countries abroad and has medical shopping problems, but access to medical institutions is world-class.

The ability of Korean bio companies to produce diagnostic kits, which have focused on research and development (R&D) despite difficult conditions for the past 10 years, also informed the world of K-defense during the Corona 19 incident. Currently, Korean diagnostic kits and diagnostic reagents are exported worldwide. It has also entered the U.S. market, where item licensing procedures are difficult. Exports of Korean diagnostic kits, which stood at $642,500 in February, reached $131.95 million between April 1 and 20.
