Look how they cough at the bus stop.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This country\u2019s 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 \u2014 where the majority of cases are \u2014 without turning the entire city into a prison.

Some countries may be testing manually, rather than automatically.\u00a0<\/span>We want to help the health authorities overseas.\u00a0<\/span>The issue is that they have no chance to test the people properly.\u00a0<\/span>Without the proper diagnosis, nobody knows what’s going on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>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\u2019t have approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)\u201c <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This country will never lose in this battle.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This country will win against this battle,\u00a0so it can be a hope for the globe that is under threatening now.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This country will beat COVID-19.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This country is your friend, South Korea.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Would you go with this country?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/covid19english.prkorea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\ud55c\uad6d-1.jpg” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ border_radii=”on|3px|3px|3px|3px”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" | Making Hope |This country is fighting against the “coronavirus” that threatens humanity,\u00a0while also fighting “the virus of hatred, discrimination, fear and selfishness.” Their citizens are voluntarily moving to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
