South Korean lockdown sound recorded by Rebecca Ghim.
"Korea is not under lockdown, so other than schools, everything is functioning as normal. The reason why we were able to cope with the virus without closing the borders or lockdowns, is because we have the government track the positive patients' recent routes and notifying the citizens in that area. That way people can be tested if they had crossed paths and catch the virus before it spreads further.
"Koreans have been very cooperative with this method and have diligently worn masks and practiced social distancing.
"My message for the global community is to think about the community first, whether that be your family or your co-workers. If you are not careful, your family or your company will pay the price."
