韓國COVID治理與「謊言」的代價【醫事綜探】 試閱
The Korean COVID Governance and Cost of Epidemiological Concealment
目前全世界面臨新型冠狀病毒第二波與第三波的威脅,各國為了再次阻止境內擴散與保護國民健康分別祭出「防疫治理政策」並採取較為強制性的手段。韓國治理模式,除了「COVID三法」—「關於預防和管理傳染病的法律」、「檢疫法」及「醫療法」三部法律的修正案之外,其他包括:取得個人通訊定位資訊於防疫之統計應用、出入場所實名制與安心手環連結居家保護APP等人身自由限制、社交距離與營業禁止或時間管制等營業自由限制、散播謠言或疫調隱匿之刑罰處罰等,應被歸類於「嚴格控管」模式。
The world is now facing the second and third waves ofthe threat of coronavirus, and various countries haveadopted “epidemic-prevention policies” and more coercivemeasures in order to prevent the spread of the disease andto protect the health of their citizens.
Analyzing the Korean Governance Model, it startsfrom the amendments to relevant legal regulations relatedto infectious diseases that were newly called “the threeCOVID laws” — the Infectious Disease Control andPrevention Act, the Quarantine Act, and the MedicalLaw. In addition, the extensions of government policiesinclude: (1) obtaining personal communication andlocation information for statistical applications in epidemicprevention, (2) restrictions on personal freedom, suchas real-name entry/exit system and “safety band” with“Self-Quarantine Safety Protection APP” installing, (3)restrictions on social distance and freedom of business,such as business prohibition or time control measures,and (4) penalties for spreading rumors or epidemiologicalconcealment. The above-mentioned acts of the Koreangovernment shall be considered as a “strict control” model.
