Many overseas customers of our online shop are giving concern and encouragement towards COVID19 virus in Korea, and also concerning about buying a product.

We will try to answer this question through this blog post.

The first COVID19 occurred in Korea on 20 January 2020. From February 22, after entering the number raised to 100s, the pseudo-religious “Shincheonji” a cult that imitated Christianity was mass infected as they were traveling to and from China. The infection number per day raised to 900s but as of March 15, the number has dropped to 76. We show respect to the people of Korea who have actively cooperated with the government's long fight against the virus.

South Korea will have a parliamentary election on April 15, 2020. If COVID19 is not controlled, it is natural that the opposition party will win the election.

Before COVID19 became popular in Korea (when there already were many patients in China), the Medical Association in Korea warned the government several times to control Chinese entry, but South Korea still has not banned entry into any country except Japan. Due to the national image. The Korean people were very upset by these measures. People criticized the government and started asserting even the impeachment of the president.

As of March 16, however, many countries abroad are asking South Korean president to share his countermeasures and know-how against COVID19. Although the pain followed, it was evaluated that the measures Korea took against the virus was appropriate. In the United States, France, as well as more than 10 countries in the America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, have requested advice from the Korea Centers for Disease Control for the diagnosis systems, infection control, and treatment centers. In addition, BBC, Washington Post, and Reuters highly rated Korea's quarantine. In the US Congressional Hearing, US was amazed by Korea's inspection ability and mortality rate of 0.9%, total inspection cases 250,000 cases, daily inspection volume, announcement of 15,000 ~ 20,000 confirmed cases, and the operation of drive-through testing program.

However, although there is no cure, the key idea is that if it is found early, it can prevent the spread of the virus to the lungs to some extent. After that, the immune system heals the body <= Korea's mortality rate (0.9% in Korea and average 3.4% in the world) is significantly lower than in other countries as a result of screening many patients in the early stages. We appreciate this measure.

Over 250,000 testings were conducted.

The COVID19 diagnostic kit was sufficient.

The diagnostic kit that was made to export to China before COVID19 happened in Korea were quickly released in Korea. First of all, the “Shincheonji” believers in the Gyeongbuk area of ​​Daegu were subject to 100% inspection. Then, the “Shincheonji” peoples’ movement routes were identified.

In Korea, the use rate of a card for payment (credit, debit) is 100%, because everyday life would not be possible without a card. Everyone has cell phones as well. The number of CCTVs per population is the highest in the world. (Because the land is small ^^ :)

Therefore, the government secured the traffic data for a few days from the credit card, mobile phone location tracking, and CCTV of people who have been positively diagnosed from the COVID19test. They were quarantined at their homes and even patients without symptoms were tested.

Medical insurance benefits also played a role.

Every Korean must join medical insurance. The government pays 70-90% of the hospital bill and charges only 10-30% of patients.

For COVID19 testing $150 were charged to the patients and the government paid the rest. And when the patient was positive, $150 was exempted. In addition, until the treatment is completed, the entire cost of treatment is paid by the country, and living expenses are also partially compensated.

Tip: The COVID19 virus cannot survive outside the human body. It is said that the virus disappears mostly, outside the human body within 2-3 hours (up to 9-12 hours of survival in the metal parts). It also disappears as soon as it contacts alcohol. Because of this, our company is obliged to sterilize twice daily.

Products are shipped safely. Recently, several countries have banned Koreans from entering the country, thus the cargo planes have been reduced. In such a country, there is a slight delay, but in Europe, Canada, and the United States, the delivery is normal without delay.

It is also known that the difference in infectivity between those who wear masks and those who do not is 400 times. Be sure to wear a mask when going out. In Korea, people are treated as a virus if they go out without wearing a mask.
