Ozempic Faces Multimillion-Dollar Class-Action Lawsuit Over Alleged Adverse Health Effects on Patients

Until a few days ago, South Korea was fourth in the number of coronavirus infections - it was replaced by Spain - but the Asian country has managed to radically reduce the number of new infections and has become an example of how to deal with a crisis of this magnitude.

South Korean authorities banned large gatherings, closed educational institutions and other public spaces, and canceled all major sports competitions shortly after the country's main outbreak around the city of Daegu was discovered.

 The massive analyzes are another of the most important measures that Seoul has taken and that have contributed to slowing down the contagion rate. In South Korea, the number of tests carried out, according to official data, has exceeded 230,000 in a country whose population is around 51 million inhabitants.

Furthermore, the transparency of the health authorities has contributed to creating this general climate of collaboration. The Korea Center for Communicable Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) became a reference thanks to the amount of detailed information it publishes daily.

Using ally technology, the South Korean government developed two mobile apps to track symptoms of people who could potentially be infected, and an alert system for those in breach of quarantine.
