[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] A webinar sharing the South Korean government's COVID-19 prevention measures with global health and medical officials will be held on the 4th. The government will share its experiences in five sessions through mid-next month.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that the first 'K-Quarantine' webinar, organized by the COVID-19 Response International Quarantine Cooperation Task Force, will take place on the afternoon of the 4th. In response to numerous requests from the international community to share South Korea's quarantine experience, a task force involving related ministries such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, as well as relevant agencies, was formed to respond systematically. As COVID-19 spread worldwide, the government shared its response experience through over 170 webinars, video conferences, and phone meetings with more than 50 countries and various international organizations.

The seminar will include government officials such as Vice Minister Kim Kang-lip of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, along with experts in diagnosis, epidemiological investigation, treatment, and other fields. The Ministry of Health and Welfare stated, "The significance lies in providing comprehensive information combining policies and technologies related to K-Quarantine to the world," adding, "Key content and Q&A will be compiled into an integrated manual by topic, which will be used as international cooperation content in the health and quarantine sectors going forward."
