新冠肺炎在韩国的出现，以及公共和私营部门对它的反应，为面临类似疫情的国家提供了一个有价值的案例研究。本文重点介绍韩国卫生官员如何实施免下车和步行诊断测试，以及广泛的行动和接触者追踪，以识别和告知受影响的公众成员。政府机构和私人开发商的移动应用程序在引导人们前往检测中心、在数字地图上传达确诊病例的移动轨迹以及跟踪旅行者和其他有暴露风险的人的健康和行动方面发挥了重要作用。这一案例研究说明了迅速调整交通基础设施和基于位置的信息技术以应对公共卫生危机的重要性，以及政府如何从实验和过去的经验中学习以加快这些反应。(C)2020作者(S)。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。这是CC BY-NC-ND许可证(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).下的一篇开放获取文章
The emergence of COVID-19 in South Korea, and the public and private sector response to it, serves as a valuable case study for countries facing similar outbreaks. This article focuses on how Korean health officials implemented drivethrough and walk-through diagnostic testing, and extensive movement and contact tracing, to identify and inform exposed members of the public. Mobile applications from both government agencies and private developers played an important role in guiding people to testing centers, communicating movement trajectories of confirmed cases on digital maps, and tracking the health and movements of travelers and others at risk of exposure. This case study illustrates the importance of rapid adaptation of transportation infrastructure and location-based information technology to respond to public health crises, and how governments can learn from experimentation and past experience to accelerate these responses.(c) 2020 The Author(s).
