Epidemics have been a major threat to human health throughout history. The development of modern medicine has led to a decline in deaths from infectious diseases, but they remain a major public health concern. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of effective infectious disease management. This study examines the management of infectious diseases in Korea. The study finds many similarities between how infectious diseases were managed in the past and how they are managed today. However, the study also finds some critical differences between how contagious diseases were managed in the past and how they are managed today. The study concludes by arguing that studying the history of infectious diseases can help us better understand and manage infectious diseases in the future.
