South Korea

outh Korea introduced what was considered

the largest and best-organised

programme in the world to screen the population

for the virus, isolate any infected

people, and trace and quarantine those

who contacted them.

Screening methods included mandatory

self-reporting of symptoms by new international

arrivals through mobile application

drive-through testing for the virus with the

results available the next day, and increasing

testing capability to allow up to 20,000

people to be tested every day. South

Korea's programme is considered a success

in controlling the outbreak without

quarantining entire cities.
