The inflow of infectious diseases is increasing due to the expansion of exchanges between countries and climate change. The public concern and anxiety about the increase of the possibility of infectious disease due to the social environment change are increasing greatly.These pandemics are a serious threat to the economy. Hence, multifaceted efforts are required to prevent them from spreading.In many hospitals, it is very important to promptly report infectious diseases, such as the CDC, when infectious diseases occur. In addition, it is difficult to separate general patients and suspected infected patients in these facilities, so there is a high risk of infection spreading within them. The paper presents the improvements of prevention and nonproliferation by researching the occurrence of infectious diseases, the method of separating infected patients, and the methods of preventing infectious diseases based on the audit results of MERS of the Board of Audit and Inspection.

COVID-19 has spread seriously around the world in 2020 and it is still significantly affecting our whole daily life. Currently, the whole world is still undergoing the pandemic and South Korea is no exception to it. During the pandemic, South Korea had several events that prevented or accelerated its spread. To establish the prevention policies for infectious diseases, it is very important to evaluate the intervention effect of such events. The susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) model is often used to describe the dynamic behavior of the spread of infectious diseases through ordinary differential equations. However, the SIR model is a deterministic model without considering the uncertainty of observed data. To consider the uncertainty in the SIR model, the Bayesian approach can be employed, and this approach allows us to evaluate the intervention effects by time-varying functions of the infection rate in the SIR model. In this study, we describe the time trend of the spread of COVID-19 in South Korea and investigate the intervention effects for the events using the stochastic SIR model based on the Bayesian approach.

As the Covid-19 outbreak spreads and prolongs around the world, visitor lists are prepared in various ways when entering the facility to prevent infection and identify confirmed people. In this study, we propose an access management system using beacons to solve the problems with the preparation and management of existing visitor lists. The research method searches the laws related to the collection of personal information and compares the current status of personal information collection and trends in the beacons. The proposed system compares and analyzes existing methods and security and efficiency, which confirm accurate and rapid access registration. By using Beacon access management system, it is effective in preventing and responding to the spread of new infectious diseases in the future.

As social disasters occur under the Disaster Management Act, which can damage the people's "life, body, and property" due to the rapid spread and spread of unexpected COVID-19 infectious diseases in 2020, information collected through inspection and reporting of infectious disease pathogens (Article 11), epidemiological investigation (Article 18), epidemiological investigation for vaccination (Article 29), artificial technology, and prevention policy Decision), (3) It was used as an important basis for decision-making in the context of an infectious disease crisis, such as promoting vaccination and understanding the current status of damage. In addition, medical policy decisions using infectious disease data contribute to quarantine policy decisions, information provision, drug development, and research technology development, and interest in the legal scope and limitations of using infectious disease data has increased worldwide. The use of infectious disease data can be classified for the purpose of spreading and blocking infectious diseases, prevention, management, and treatment of infectious diseases, and the use of information will be more widely made in the context of an infectious disease crisis. In particular, as the serious stage of the Disaster Management Act continues, the processing of personal identification information and sensitive information becomes an important issue. Information on "medical records, vaccination drugs, vaccination, underlying diseases, health rankings, long-term care recognition grades, pregnancy, etc." needs to be interpreted. In the case of "prevention, management, and treatment of infectious diseases", it is difficult to clearly define the concept of medical practicesThe types of actions are judged based on "legislative purposes, academic principles, expertise, and social norms," but the balance of legal interests should be based on the need for data use in quarantine policies and urgent judgment in public health crises. Specifically, the speed and degree of transmission of infectious diseases in a crisis, whether the purpose can be achieved without processing sensitive information, whether it unfairly violates the interests of third parties or information subjects, and the effectiveness of introducing quarantine policies through processing sensitive information can be used as major evaluation factors. On the other hand, the collection, provision, and use of infectious disease data for research purposes will be used through pseudonym processing under the Personal Information Protection Act, consent under the Bioethics Act and deliberation by the Institutional Bioethics Committee, and data provision deliberation committee. Therefore, the use of research purposes is recognized as long as procedural validity is secured as it is reviewed by the pseudonym processing and data review committee, the consent of the information subject, and the institutional bioethics review committee. However, the burden on research managers should be reduced by clarifying the pseudonymization or anonymization procedures, the introduction or consent procedures of the comprehensive consent system and the opt-out system should be clearly prepared, and the procedure for re-identifying or securing security that may arise from technological development should be clearly defined.

After the outbreak of COVID-19, local infections were spread by foreign sailors of foreign ships entering the ports. However, the government had difficulties in designating temporary living facilities around port areas due to the opposition from local residents. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to plan a floating temporary living facility for foreign sailors in the port area to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by foreign sailors. In this study, location selection, a facility volumetric plan, a unit facility plan, and a unit facility block plan are presented as results of facility planning. Floating temporary living facilities are expected to be used to prevent the spread of first-class infectious diseases in port areas in the future.

The propagation of Infectious Diseases is very dreadful. It is not easy to detect through whom and where Infectious diseases start. Due to traffic development, these days, viral infectious diseases that weren't known in Korea in the past sometimes emerge in Korea, that is, probability to be propagated by certain viral infectious disease is getting bigger and bigger. The prevention of infectious diseases should be thoroughly blocked before they are introduced, nevertheless, when introduced, the government has a duty and responsibility to prevent them from spreading as soon as possible. There may be a terrible case that a certain infectious disease is spreading all over the world. Of course, in this case, cooperation between countries becomes more and more important than ever. But even in this situation, the nation's role should not decrease. Quarantine Law in Korea says that the government can take a quarantine measures to minimize the risk of infection. So the government can isolated questionable people with the risk of infection as well as people with the risk of infection. Quarantine or Isolation is a quite effective measures to prevent the viral infectious disease, however, it allows all subjects' right of freedom to be restricted. So, in any case that a infectious disease is spreading quickly, the probability for subjects to be isolated unreasonably or preposterously can probably happen. In this paper, I'll consider and discuss about the harmony between Public Health and Human Rights through quarantine or isolation.

Purpose: Since COVID-19 was first discovered in China in December 2019, it has rapidly spread around the world, causing serious economic and social problems not only in individuals' lives, but also in businesses and countries. Individuals, businesses, and governments have all made various efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Although the roles of individuals, companies, and the government are important to respond to and manage infectious diseases, previous studies have only partially studied the roles. Therefore, in this study, the roles of individuals, companies, and the government to achieve results in responding to infectious diseases disaster management A comprehensive study was conducted on this issue, and it was attempted to understand the impact of workers' perceptions of infectious disease disaster management and government and corporate capabil]ities on disaster response performance. Method: The survey was conducted for workers in the automobile manufacturing industry in Ulsan, Gyeongju, and Yangsan, and frequency analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were performed. Result: It was found that worker perception had a positive effect on both government and corporate capabilities as well as disaster management performance. In addition, government capacity and corporate capacity had a positive effect on disaster management performance. Conclusion: The results of this study are meaningful in that they reveal that not only workers' perceptions but also the capabilities of the government and companies are important to achieve disaster response performance. In addition, workers should make good use of opportunities for education and participation provided by the government and corporations, and make the most social efforts that workers can make.

In order to prevent the national wide spread of the COVID-19 virus, the government enforces to use an electronic access registration system for public facilities to effectively track and manage the spread. Initially, there was a lot of hassle to write a directory, but recently a system for creating an electronic access list using QR codes, what is called KI-Pass, is mainly used. However, the procedure for generating a QR code is somewhat cumbersome. In this paper, we propose a new electronic access registration system that does not require QR code. This system effectively controls the suspicious visitor by using a mask wearing discriminator which has been implemented using deep learning technology, and a non-contact thermometer package. In addition, by linking the beacon, a short-range wireless communication technology, and the visitor's smartphone application, basic information of the facility visitor is automatically registered to KDCA through the server. On the other hand, the user access information registered in the server is encrypted and stored, and is automatically destroyed after up to 4 weeks. This system is expected to be very effective in preventing the spread of other new infectious diseases as well as responding to the coronavirus which is recording a high spread worldwide.
