Abstract

COVID-19 case management by South Korea shows that citizenship and evolutionary mechanisms of social and institutional learning have helped curb the spread of COVID-19. The painful experience of the MERS virus in 2015 pushed Korean society to improve the capacity of both health and quarantine systems. Korea’s initial response to COVID-19 stems from learning in both the civil society and government sectors. The experience of MERS created a social learning space for Korean society at large and an opportunity for institutional learning for the government. Social learning encourages good citizenship, the development of social capital, and community innovation, all of which help people respond nimbly to a viral epidemic. Institutional learning entails government reform and feedback, active administration, effective distribution of tests, effective tracing, and effective treatments.
有效管理COVID-19病毒在韩国的快速传播:从中东呼吸综合征中学习的社会和制度
韩国的新冠肺炎病例管理表明,公民意识和社会制度学习的进化机制有助于遏制新冠肺炎的传播。2015年中东呼吸综合征(MERS)的惨痛经历促使韩国社会提高了保健和检疫系统的能力。韩国对新冠病毒的初步应对源于民间社会和政府部门的学习。MERS的经历为韩国社会创造了社会学习空间,也为政府提供了制度学习的机会。社会学习鼓励良好的公民意识、社会资本的发展和社区创新,所有这些都有助于人们灵活地应对病毒流行病。制度学习需要政府改革和反馈、积极管理、有效分配考试、有效跟踪和有效治疗。
