코로나19 대응 노하우 전세계에 공유한다...'K-방역' 각국 공유 봇물

With South Korea seeming to have successfully getting the COVID-19 outbreak under control,... nations around the world have been asking South Korea to share the secret of its success.
In fact, the South Korean government is to hold a webinar on Monday to share its knowhow and experiences.
Our Choi Jeong-yoon reports.
From its massive testing capability to strong quarantine measures,...South Korea has been winning global recognition for its tackling of the coronavirus pandemic.
As of the end of April, some 50 countries and international organizations have asked the South Korean government to share its COVID-19 experiences via online meetings and seminars.
To reopen one of its international airports, the Colombian government went online with some 70 South Korean government officials learning more about the quarantining of arrivals and the mobilization of self-quarantine apps.
Incheon International Airport, the major hub for global flights in South Korea, has not seen any COVID-19 cases among 77 thousand workers.
'Webinar' is another window for sharing what has since been dubbed 'K-quarantine'.
South Korea has held three meetings so far.
Health authorities from 75 countries, including the U.S. and Russia, have participated and about a thousand people logged in from South American and ASEAN countries.

"And the last is 'preemptive isolation ward'. This is sort of unique. This has three grade here. If a patient have a very high epidemiological risk in symptoms, and they're gonna put right here..."
South Korea will hold five international web seminars starting this Monday.
Medical experts, epidemiologists, along with government officials will participate.
They will be held regularly until July and have English and Russian translations.
Different topics are to be discussed from national policies on quarantine measures to clinical treatments for the virus.
The health ministry expects this to be a channel that will also inform the world about South Korea's technological prowess.
