Since the pandemic began, South Korea have used a rigorous contact tracing program that includes new technologies to track contacts, such as GPS, monitoring CCTV, and card transactions.

These methods appear to have helped in controlling the number of infections, as its peak occurred in March with just 851 cases.

While South Korea’s track and trace system has been successful, is not implemented globally due to differences in privacy laws.
