How Korea Mastered COVID-19

I have already lost count of how many times my mom had mentioned Korea since the coronavirus had flooded our lives and thoughts. During dinner, my younger sister would roll her eyes, sick of this constant chatter over South Korea’s handling of the coronavirus. But, nonetheless, my mom would continue on about how still, despite this worldwide pandemic, Korea wasn’t under a lockdown, Korea wasn’t banning Chinese citizens from entering the country, Korea wasn’t under major panic. In spite of this immediate and sudden chaos, Korea was the closest to normal.
