The COVID-19 pandemic has left no country untouched. But some nations have responded relatively well, while others, like the United States, have suffered an immense toll of disease and death.
Starting today, The Pandemic Playbook, a new series from Vox Media developed with support from the Commonwealth Fund, explores the ways some countries have built a successful pandemic response. Today’s feature focuses on South Korea, where an aggressive testing and tracing system allowed the country to suppress the virus but raised concerns about privacy.
Future installments will focus on Germany, Vietnam, the United Kingdom, Senegal, and the U.S. |
