Abstract
Iris Claus, University of Waikato: Since early 2020, a pandemic has been spreading around the world. It was identified as a novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2) and later renamed as coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 (Qiu et al. 2020). Most countries and territories (more than 200 as of September 2020) have been affected by the virus, but their success in coping with the pandemic has varied in terms of case numbers, deaths, and economic slowdown. One country that has fared better than others is the Republic of Korea.
怀卡托大学艾瑞斯·克劳斯:自2020年初以来,一场大流行一直在全球蔓延。它被确定为一种新型冠状病毒(严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2或SARS-CoV-2),后来更名为冠状病毒病2019或COVID-19 (Qiu et al. 2020)。大多数国家和地区(截至2020年9月超过200个)都受到了该病毒的影响,但它们在应对大流行方面的成功在病例数、死亡人数和经济放缓方面各不相同。韩国的情况比其他国家要好。
