摘要

首先，韩国过去未能成功应对2015年中东呼吸综合征(MERS)的惨痛经历，不仅为医院，也为国家公共卫生系统提供了宝贵的应急响应经验。在MERS之后，韩国政府修改了《传染病防治法》，赋予公共机构在发生重大传染病时收集、记录和共享特定类别个人信息的权利。许多其他国家也采取了类似措施，利用数字技术进行有效的一线应对，跟踪、追踪和遏制COVID-19的传播。虽然在病例数量有限且可控的早期阶段，这种特殊措施被证明是一种有效的控制措施，但这种做法可能会损害公民的隐私和其他基本权利。

Yunjong Wang Comments on COVID-19 in Korea: Success Based on Past Failure

First, Korea’s past traumatic failure to successfully deal with MERS in 2015 offered a valuable lesson in terms of emergency response not only for hospitals but also the nation’s public health system. After MERS, the Korean government revised the Contagious Disease Prevention and Control Act and granted public agencies the right to collect, profile, and share certain categories of personal information at the outbreak of a serious infectious disease. Many other countries have also introduced similar measures to track, trace, and contain the spread of COVID-19 by using digital technologies for effective front-line responses. While such exceptional measures prove to be an effective control measure in the early stages of COVID-19 when there are a limited and manageable number of cases, the approach may hamper privacy and other fundamental rights of citizens.
