▷ Korea's anti-virus strategy is based on strong epidemiological investigations and screening campaigns, which are important for uncovering infection networks. Along with testing kits and tracking technology already in place, Korea plans to build a'smart city' database and allow quarantine violators to agree to use tracking bracelets. The database is designed to share information such as traffic and pollution among cities. Health authorities plan to use the network to detect and contain coronavirus cases. This database will be operated by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) and provides epidemiological investigators with real-time data on patients, such as the patient's location, time spent at a specific location, CCTV images, and credit card transactions. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, who first prepared the'Smart City', the database was able to reduce the time required to track patient movements from a day to 10 minutes.

▷ Smart City can help us fight against coronavirus epidemics, and many countries are doing so. Government and local authorities use smart city technology, sensors, and data to track the contact of people infected with corona. At the same time, Smart City also helps to find out if social distance is well being followed.

▷ Based on big data analysis, Korea has developed a'Corona Smart Management System'. "This system is taking strict security measures such as using a virtual network against external attacks and automatically recording login information," said Lee Ik-jin, head of the Urban Economy Division, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport who participated in the design of the smart management system. MOLIT said that the big data management and analysis platform for infectious diseases is one of the smart city construction projects, and it provides a new idea for the application of big data.

Corona tracking using IT Korea reveals path of infected

 

▷ In 2015, 38 people died in Korea due to the MERS incident. At that time, the government revised the law to find out the path of infection and the number of people in contact with the infection in preparation for the future epidemic. Currently, the government can secure the video of the location of the mobile phone to the infected person ▽ credit card and transportation card usage history ▽ video left on the surveillance camera.

Authorities emphasize personal information protection in big data virus tracker

The best way to track the spread of COVID 19: credit card transactions

 

▷ On Friday, the South Korean government said that the latest tracker, capable of epidemiological investigations in 10 minutes, does not threaten the personal information of COVID19 patients or self-quarantine. The'COVID19 Smart Management System', a virus tracker that utilizes big data and artificial intelligence, allows health investigators to immediately receive analysis of the data and virus population to be investigated, and to identify the expected source of infection. Lee Ik-jin, head of the Urban Economics Division of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, said on issues related to the balance of public health and personal information, "After MERS in 2015, there is a social agreement that prioritizes public health and safety in Korea." . “There is an African proverb saying,'Go alone to go fast, go together to go far.' If countries around the world are fighting COVID 19, if we can make progress with our technology, I would like to share this technology.” The legal basis and prerequisites take precedence.”
