摘要
The city of Daegu, South Korea, had the first large outbreak of Covid-19 outside of China. Despite facing similar challenges as other large cities - shortages of personal protective equipment, inpatient beds, and health care workers - the rate of Covid-19 infections among health care workers in Daegu remained lower than the rates experienced by its counterparts. Health system leaders and public health officials in Daegu mobilized a regional reorganization of the health system along with several hospital-level interventions that concentrated resources and equipment, relieved shortages, and ultimately protected health care workers and patients.
