The K-CDC has distributed leaflets to the public and continues to issue guidelines for preventing COVID-19.3 The Korean Neuropsychiatric Association has also published guidelines4 targeting five population domains: the public, parents of young children, quarantined people, medical professionals who treat COVID-19 patients, and other medical practitioners. These guidelines, released by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, suggest perceiving an anxiety response to an outbreak as normal and refraining from the act of avoiding specific groups. They also highlight the need to rely on credible information.
