Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused various socioeconomic problems as well as deaths. The featured graphic depicts the COVID-19 outbreak and the accompanying decrease in sales of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from week 2 to week 53 in 2020 as well as its regional patterns during three different phases in Korea. The geovisualization shows that the MSMEs’ economic crisis occurred during the COVID-19 outbreak period. The COVID-19 crisis witnessed the emergence of pandemic management strategies, including mitigation and reinforcement of lockdowns repeatedly, which weakened the effectiveness of policies for controlling the spread of infectious diseases. This research sheds further light on the prioritization of policy-related decision making for controlling infectious diseases by utilizing economic shutdowns.
