RESUMO
This study analyzed how Korea's quarantine policy manages personal information to prevent and control COVID-19. Korea effectively halted the spread of COVID-19 through epidemiological investigations and cell-broadcast systems. In this process, the route of infection is presented without identifying the patient, and the necessary participants are selected only through authentication. We found a correlation between the number of emergency text messages sent by the Ministry of Interior and Safety in 2020 and the number of confirmed cases (R2 = 0.465, p < 0.001). Based on Korea's case, we propose a new concept for solving the personal information problems that might arise during a pandemic response.
