No country in the world was prepared for the ongoing corona crisis, and the rapid spread could not be prevented anywhere in the world. And yet, in international comparison, some countries are better off than others. South Korea, for example, was able to bring the crisis situation under control at an early stage.
What is different in South Korea than in our country?
Experts refer above all to cultural differences on site, which means that face masks and social distancing have been applied immediately across the country. Of course that is true – especially the face masks with which infected people could prevent the virus from spreading unchecked to the world were a matter of course even before the Corona crisis in South Korea (and in general in Asia). However, the government also takes very effective measures in the crisis: numerous tests ensure that infected people can be isolated at an early stage. Their environment must then also remain at home and thus prevent the virus from spreading through them. Also an important support: The sick are not left alone in the quarantine: employees of the health department regularly check how the people in quarantine are doing and are at their side with tips and answers to all questions.
Care packages for the bare essentials
Above all, one measure makes many other countries slightly jealous: If you are in quarantine, you will receive a care package delivered to your home that should get you through the difficult times. It contains many things that are very useful in this particular situation, as well as an encouraging letter that encourages people in this crisis. A person affected has now shown exactly what is included in such a package on the net – you can see for yourself in the video above!
