韩国和日本新型冠状病毒肺炎流行特征及防控措施对比分析

Comparative analysis of epidemic characteristics and prevention and control measures of Corona virus disease 2019 in South Korea and Japan

目的对比分析韩国和日本新型冠状病毒肺炎的流行特征及防控措施,为疫情防控提供参考。方法收集韩国中央灾难安全对策本部、日本厚生劳动省等官方网站及韩国和日本的权威媒体信息,进行疫情流行特征及防控措施分析。结果韩国于2020年1月20日出现首例病例,流行高峰出现较早(2月底)。韩国政府采取积极查找、隔离、检测和治疗每个病例,并追踪每个接触者的防控措施,4月初使疫情得到控制。日本于2020年1月16日出现首例病例,流行高峰出现较晚(4月初)。日本政府通过向全国发布“紧急事态宣言”,呼吁民众避免不紧急不必要的外出,尽量居家,要求商家采取停业措施,5月初使疫情得到控制,但在6月底,疫情呈现反弹趋势。结论韩国和日本两国疫情总体流行水平较低,部分防治经验值得研究吸纳,尤其韩国防治模式更需进一步追踪观察和研究。
