worst outbreak outside china. by the to access normally private information. for instance, when the country never went into lock down. first confirmed case was reported in people have been allowed to travel the city of pusan in another church, freely, go to work in their offices, a team was dispatched to investigate visit bars, even vote in an election. yet infection rates were brought under control. were they —— —— busan. thejudge agreed to hand over its register, with private just lucky or does south korea have details of all of its registers and lessons it can teach us all? this by tracking the patient‘s path via film provides the answers. it was credit card, phone and even cctv, shot over the first 100 days of the contact traces worked out that the korean response to covid—19, right patient had originally been infected by another as yet undiscovered from the very first day. carrierfrom by another as yet undiscovered carrier from the same church. the chinese woman detected with a temperature at the airport was immediately ta ken to temperature at the airport was immediately taken to incheon hospital. 0ne immediately taken to incheon hospital. one new was complaining of muscle pain and a mild fever. the doctor who treated her was doctor

kim, a veteran of past pandemics. he had been following the frightening new disease emerging in china. these i testing 100 people from that one are doctor kim's own pictures of church, they not only traced the that first encounter. though her original carrier but also 33 others illness was mild, professor kim was who had been infected. they then alarmed. he conducted a variety of investigated the movements of each carrier. this led them to a further tests, including blood, saliva, x—rays, and sent them off for seven who had caught it after analysis. long before the results he contact outside the church. to make knew what he was dealing with, south the tracking process even swifter, health officials would mobilise big korea had its first case of data. coronavirus. do you have a cough? no

cough. headache? the new system slashed the time taken to track a patient‘s movements from 2a hours to just ten minutes. the virus had taken hold by stealth. anyone who had contact with an mrs wang was far more ill than she infected person would receive a text appeared. revealing where that person had been, at what time, theirjob, sex, where they had been treated, and when professor kim examined a ct scan of his patient‘s lungs, he other personal information. they we re realised she had had the virus was other personal information. they were then advised to get a test. the use of this normally private data several days. it suggested that carriers of covid—19 were contagious was possible because of laws passed after the mers outbreak in 2015. the without knowing they were sick. the detail would be deleted two weeks after the last contact with a carrier. alarm now went off in the careered

—— korean center for disease, the highest body. south korea had fought as the outbreak reached its peak, there was also a massive expansion of the first t, testing. anyone who coronavirus is twice before, sars wa nted of the first t, testing. anyone who wanted a test could get one. but going to a centre, sending off swabs and mers. mers killed 38 people and was time—consuming and difficult. so paralysed the country. the key cdc doctor kim who had treated the very had already begun pandemic planning, first patient devised the idea of a simulating how the virus could drive—through testing centre. spread from china. with no cure drive—through and even walk in centres were set up in school playgrounds and parking lots and the tests took just ten playgrounds and parking lots and the tests tookjust ten minutes. available, kcdc the decided to focus on preventing the spread of the

disease. first it had to find out who actually had it. so stage one of but still, outbreak raged. in early the fight back would be mass testing. but the existing tests took march, south korea past 5000 cases. too long. more than 2a hours to give at that point the worst outbreak results. in that time a single anywhere outside china. we have made carrier could hundreds of people. the assessment that covid—19 can be the urgency was real because it was characterised as a pandemic. by late nearly the lunar new year holiday, millions would be travelling all march, the virus had spread all over over the country, potentially the world. some countries block spreading the virus. flights and closed borders. south korea chose a different approach. airports like inchon with a first case “— airports like inchon with a first case —— where the first case was detected were kept open but arrivals had to quarantine for two weeks. as korea celebrated the lunar new year, the kcdc seller —— summoned officials and some the country ‘s top biotech companies to a meeting

at seoul station. those who were there were shocked by what they 0nce heard. among them hadrian park. the once again, south korea put its faith in the four ts. test, track, trace and treat. everyone arriving from infected countries, europe and the us, had to be tested. after getting off the plane, passengers would be checked by the gates for fever. if they had a high companies were told to develop faster tests. in this crisis 2a temperature, they would be sent to a special room where they would be tested for the virus. hours was just too long. in return the case cdc would provide anything they needed. samples, faster licensing, anything. it took only eight days for one firm to develop a if they tested negative, they would test that gave results in just six be allowed entry but be tracked with a self isolation app for two weeks.

hours. four other companies now collaborated and scaled up production of the six other tests. with test kits ready, the kcdc now by by may six, some 100 days after the put its faith in a strategy that could be summarised as the four first case, south korea seemed to be on the verge of beating the virus. there had been no new homegrown cases for three days. the korean mac seoul. ts two track find out where four ts approach had been hailed as a model for the rest of the world. they were and where they had been, but then, on may seven, the kcdc was find the contacts and test where they had been. numberfour, three. alerted to a patient who had visited isolate those with the disease in nig htclu bs alerted to a patient who had visited nightclubs and bars while carrying the virus. it was spreading once specialist covid—19 hospitals. 20 again. this outbreak revealed the limitations on the third t. tracing. days after being admitted, the first some lgbt club —goers gave false patient was discharged from hospital

and wrote this letter of thanks. at identities and were reluctant to come forward for testing, fearing this stage only a few people discrimination. the kcdc swung into arriving from china had virus. she action once more. returned home safely and later zoomed her medical team. 0ne 0fficials officials are still dealing with the aftermath of this outbreak. they are managing to keep it under control though. 100 days after that first case, south korea continues its battle against covid—19. it is not free of the virus. but it has come close. even so, like many countries, it has been damaged.

by by may 28, south korea had suffered just 269 deaths. compared to over 100,000 in the us and nearly 40,000 in britain. test, truck, trace and treat using big data and acting swiftly has become a role model for the world. few koreans question the government's strategy. it has been proven to save lives. and any intrusion on personal privacy is regarded as a price worth paying.

well, it's certainly not going to feel like a day injune out there on saturday, and certainly not compared to what we had last week, when temperatures were in the mid to high 20s. saturday is going to be a blustery one with further showers and low pressure is firmly in charge of our weather. you can see the clouds circling around the area of low pressure very close to scotland and actually, through the early hours we're seeing a band of cloud and rain slipping southwards across the uk, accompanied by some pretty strong winds. it's the weather front that's linked to this low pressure, and this low pressure will hang around through most of saturday and then by sunday, it looks as though it's going to clear away. but through the early hours, we've got a band of more persistent rain stretching from the north, moving due south. it does look as though the south of the country is actually going to wake up to some sunshine but look how that cloud, that rain—bearing cloud, slips southwards through the course of the day, so i think most of us will catch at least a little

bit of rain. but the chances are that during the afternoon, the skies will clear across more northern parts of the country and the sun will come out. but it's across the south middle of the afternoon where we'll probably have most of the cloud and the outbreaks of rain. now, the wind arrows you can see here, those are the gusts of wind, and in places, they are in excess of 40 mph, perhaps even up to 50. 50 mph in gusts isjust about gale force, and that's a strong wind for the time of the year, certainly whipping those trees around. now, the temperatures in the sunshine in the north will probably peak at around 19 degrees, for example in the lowlands of scotland. but further south, we are talking more like the low or the mid teens, and it is going to feel nippy in those gusty winds. the showers will continue into saturday night and the early hours of sunday but there is an indication that that low pressure and this weather front will drift a little bit further towards the east during the course of sunday. so, yes, sunday on the north sea coast blustery with showers but even here, they will eventually fade a little bit later on in the day. and i think for most of us, overall, sunday is looking better, particularly the further west

and the north you are. so, again, another fine day in glasgow. and the outlook actually shows that the weather will be stabilising itself as we go through next week. perhaps not all that sunny and not all that warm, but at least those winds will die down. that's it from me. bye— bye.
