Abstract

The South Korean government’s COVID-19 policies prioritized effective and efficient containment of the virus, which can accompany the risk of marginalizing vulnerable populations. Using a single-site case study, this research focuses on three main policy approaches by the South Korean government, which were widely cited as relatively successful in containing the COVID-19 outbreak: 1) preventive policies; 2) contact tracing; and 3) testing and relief packages. This study aims to leverage the unique situation of the pandemic to provide new insights into practices in disaster governance, examining how they disproportionally impact vulnerable groups.
