A Study on the Government's Quarantine Policy on COVID- 19: Focusing on the Impact of Government Quarantine Policies on the Spread of COVID- 19

Abstract

Sudden spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 is related to the interests of the people and the development of society, and coping with the crisis caused by this is a great ordeal for the government. It is emphasized how the government will improve its ability to cope with the spread of the crisis in unexpected public health events and do better in crisis management. There is a need for this study. This is because the government's quarantine policy during the epidemic disaster is very important in controlling the spread of infectious diseases. This study aims to explore the causes of different situations in China, the United States, and Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic. The implications derived from the results of a comparative analysis of the COVID-19 response policies of three countries, Korea, China, and the United States, are as follows. It can be seen that the governments of Korea and China have relatively high ability to control infectious diseases. Compared to the current serious situation in Western countries such as the United States, it can be seen that the government's quarantine policy is important. Only when the government has the ability to respond to infectious disease crises as quickly and accurately as COVID-19 can it minimize the loss of people's lives and property in the event of a crisis, while reducing the negative impact of the crisis.
