South Korean Government Looks After Their Quarantined Citizens With An Incredible Comfort Package
It would seem with each passing day that far too many countries decided not to take the threat and seriousness of the novel coronavirus for what it was and tried far too hard to see what would happen. It has resulted in a global loss of life as of 04/04 of 64,650.

But those numbers are changing every day to be even more reflective of the horror we are all in together. South Korea has set some pretty impressive examples, though, and at the top of their good examples is the comfort package their government has send it's quarantined citizens.
The rest of the world is watching in awe.
South Korea has done a pretty good job of placing confirmed cases in quaranting, and to make quarantine life a little easier...
Well, they've sent out these nifty care packages!
Imgur user "Uvzxkwq" turned to social media to offer a glimpse into how their country was doing things and how impressed the unexpected quality of the package was.
He received the package on his second day of quarantine.
The package included hygiene essentials like face masks and hand sanitizer.
Additionally, and most surprisingly though, the package included foods and fresh produce to ensure quarantined individuals wouldn't need to leave their homes.
Thankfully, Reddit user TheMemeChurch helped elaborate on the situation because they were in a similar position:
They added:
"Honestly, the way this whole situation was handled was so efficient, professional and actually a bit calming. It gives me hope that Korea can somewhat cope with this virus (as well as one can hope) with their aggressive testing compared to most other countries"
The packages included garbage disposal instructions:
"Garbage disposal instructions for people without COVID-19 symptoms: After filling up the garbage disposal bag provided, please keep it and use the anti-virus spray to disinfect the bag (at least once a day). Only fill up 75% of the bag, tie it tightly and use the spray to disinfect it. You should keep the bag until the end of quarantine and call the number provided and they will dispose of it for you.
Instructions for when you’re showing symptoms of the virus: do the same as #1 and after filling up the bag, please contact the number provided.
Instructions for people who were diagnosed with COVID-19: do the same as #1 and call the number provided."
The package included an encouraging letter, as well.
Roughly translated, this letter says:
For people who are currently suffering from the Corona-19 virus, we send our regards and sympathy. We (the food ministry?) is sending this “environment-friendly health package” constructed with environment-friendly crops. We hope this helps you get energy for your daily routine. Furthermore, we hope you get well soon to return to your daily life. You can do it! Fight it! Go South Korea!
Food, health supplies, encouragement, and a dedicated case worker to check in on them every other day.
That's how South Korea is taking care of their confirmed cases in quarantine.
In other parts of the world, governments continue to push hard against proper testing protocols and taking necessary measures to ease the fast spreading virus.
Internet users chimed in on the Imgur post in awe.
