The Impact of Entry Restrictions on the Spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Variants Between 2021 and 2022
This study explored the impact of border policy changes on overseas entrants and local cases of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Data from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency randomly collected between April 11, 2021 and August 20, 2022 were evaluated using the Granger causality model. The results showed that the outbreak gap of delta variants between international and domestic cases was 10 weeks, while that of omicron variants was approximately 2 weeks, meaning that the quarantine policy helped contain delta variants rather than more transmissible variants. It is recommended that countries implement quarantine policies ba...

Clinical Characteristics and Risk Factors for Mortality in Critical COVID-19 Patients Aged 50 Years or Younger During Omicron Wave in Korea: Comparison With Patients Older Than 50 Years of Age
CONCLUSION: Overall, the S-CFR of critically ill COVID-19 patients in the omicron period was higher than that in the delta period, especially in those aged ≤ 50 years. All of the patients who died had an underlying disease or obesity. In the same population, the vaccination rate was very low compared to that in the delta wave, indicating that non-vaccination significantly affected the progression to critical illness. Notably, there was a lack of prescription for Paxlovid for these patients although they satisfied the prescription criteria. Early diagnosis and active initial treatment was necessary, along with the proven ...

The First outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at outdoor camping site in South Korea, 2020
CONCLUSION: It is the first COVID-19 outbreak that occurred at an outdoor camping site in South Korea. COVID-19 can spread even when outdoors, prevention and control measures such as maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask should be observed when a large number of people gather outdoors. To ensure safe camping, facility managers should keep the cleaning and hygiene, and users should minimize the risk of infection by following the recommended precautions while staying in public spaces.PMID:37460295 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230051
