South Korea braces for mega Covid-19 surge; could reach 350,000 cases by next week

The government's strategy to combat this surge is centred on securing and distributing treatments and testing kits, a proactive approach aimed at preventing the healthcare system from being overwhelmed and mitigating the impact of the pandemic on the population. The government has approved a reserve fund of 326.8 billion won for the additional purchase of treatments, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency.
