Oh, S.S. and Wang, C. 927987  aFrom uncoordinated patchworks to a coordinated system: Mers-cov to Covid-19 in Korea  aAmerican Review of Public Administration   a 50(6-7), Aug-Oct, 2020: p.736-742  aSouth Korea has experienced two national public health crises during this decade. The 2015 Middle East respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) response’s failure to address coordination problems or authority conflicts provided an opportunity to revise its national disease control system before the 2020 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. Our reflection on Korea’s MERS-CoV and COVID-19 responses provides a perspective on public health emergency management. It is difficult to project the scale of an emerging infectious disease in advance because of its contagious nature and ability to cross geographic boundaries. In a national epidemic or global pandemic, a centralized coordination effort at the national level is desirable, rather than fragmented local, city, or regional efforts. – Reproduced   aPublic health emergency management, Lncident Command System, MERS-CoV, COVID-19925864  aAmerican Review of Public Administration  aPUBLIC HEALTH  cAR  00102ddc40709391811aIIPAbIIPAd2021-07-27h50(6-7), Aug-Oct, 2020: p.736-742pAR124995r2021-07-27yAR
