Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic affected the incidence of certain infectious diseases in South Korea from 2018 to 2021.
- Significant decreases in diseases like varicella, mumps, and scarlet fever were observed after NPIs were implemented, indicating a strong correlation due to their respiratory transmission.
- Conversely, other illnesses, such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and hepatitis infections, showed little to no significant change with NPIs, highlighting the complexity of controlling different types of infections.
