Here are two videos illustrating some of the differences in how countries have responded to the coronavirus.

The USA and South Korea took different approaches to dealing with, and containing the coronavirus.

The first video examines how the USA approached the testing and also managed the outbreak in the country, whilst the second looks at South Korea. Issues such as access to health insurance, human rights and the use of media in tracking and tracing are highlighted.

These videos could be useful for the Global Development unit and Health.
