For those who want a deeper dive into South Korea's battle against COVID-19, I highly recommend looking at the translations being done by the COVID Translate Project. All to often, the details of what is happening here in The Republic of Korea don't get to a broad international audience for one simple reason. They are not translated into English or other languages.
Hats off to all the volunteers who are working with the COVID Translate Project.
Medium recently published an informative article on "How Korea Does Contact Tracing" based on a report available through the COVID Translate Project. The approach makes it clear that a multi-pronged effort utilizing mobile networks, big data and related digital technologies is an important part of the picture. Perhaps more importantly, Korea is a democracy and its citizens, corporations and government are all invested in the ongoing battle against this new, deadly corona virus.
