“Unlike other national citizens, people in this country did not panic. Look how they cough at the bus stop.”
– Voice of America(VOA) –
This country’s civil society has voluntarily pitched in. Major events have been canceled, church services have been moved online and the government has managed to persuade citizens to stay away from the city — where the majority of cases are — without turning the entire city into a prison.

This country is transforming from the ‘country which is dangerous because of COVID-19’ into the ‘country which is leading the fight against it for the humanity’.
The country which is leading the fight against COVID-19 in the world to prevent the spread of the disease.
This country is the first country in the world to develop the test kits for COVID-19 and to take the lead in fighting against the virus.
CNN in the U.S. tells the story of a company in this country using super-computers and artificial intelligence-based big data technology to develop the test kits for COVID-19 in just a few weeks, which would have taken a couple of months.
“It was at the time when COVID-19 began in China, making people shocked and panic, and four days ahead of South Korea confirming its first case. Although there was no request from the government at that time, our company first succeeded in developing a weapon to fight against COVID-19. Now we are making about 10,000 kits a week and each kit can test 100 patients. So it is making enough to test one million patients each week, at a cost of under $20 per test.“
“Other countries around the world are failing to check all people who want to be tested. Some countries may be testing manually, rather than automatically. We want to help the health authorities overseas. The issue is that they have no chance to test the people properly. Without the proper diagnosis, nobody knows what’s going on. If the United States had access to our system, they could test 1 million patients a week. But for now, the US cannot use the test kits on patients — it doesn’t have approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)“
