COVID-19: Japan and South Korea “Corona Countermeasures”: Comparison by major indicators

Aspects of the third wave:

In the second wave, Japan and South Korea did not spread as much as in Europe and the United States.

However, the appearance of the third wave was different.

Infection spreads rapidly in both Japan and South Korea.

In Seoul, the number of beds for critically ill patients was forced to reach 4 (as of December 18).

Number of beds for critically ill people:

Compared to Japan’s 3575 beds, South Korea has 543 beds, which is more in Japan when converted to population ratio.

Deaths per 100,000:

South Korea has 1.3 people compared to 2.3 in Japan.

However, the number of seriously ill persons per 100,000 is 0.47 in Japan and 0.53 in South Korea.

Globally, both countries are pretty good.

PCR testing capacity:

The maximum daily inspection capacity is about 109,000 in Japan and about 70,000 in South Korea.

However, South Korea exceeds the population ratio,

Support measures for the people:

Japan distributed a benefit of 100,000 yen to all the people.

South Korea is a household benefit

One-person household costs 400,000 won (about 36,000 yen)

1 million won (about 90,000 yen) for households with 4 or more people

The amount of money in South Korea is extremely smaller than that in Japan.

Securing vaccines:

Securing vaccines that hold the key to convergence.

Japan has already signed a basic agreement with three British and American pharmaceutical companies to supply a total of 140 million people.

President Moon of South Korea has announced that he will secure vaccines for 44 million people, which is 90% of the population.

However, as of mid-December, the government was able to actually sign contracts for 26 million people.
