In 2023, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) established that the policy exempting people who test positive for COVID-19 on a rapid test and experience mild or no symptoms from reporting and isolation would take effect on March 20th. COVID-19 would be downgraded to the fourth type of infectious disease. Starting on that day, self-health monitoring would enter a new stage, in which reporting and quarantine requirements for mild cases would end. Looking back on the past three years, due to the pandemic and relevant countermeasures, lifestyles, industries, medical care, social care for the underprivileged, and living spaces have been greatly impacted. Governments have also implemented various policies to balance pandemic control and economic development. Strategies for countermeasures might vary depending on local conditions, but the effectiveness of governance is a matter of great concern to the public. Through actual participation and observation on the frontline, this study takes Kaohsiung City as an example to discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industrial economy, medical care, social care for underprivileged minorities, urban and architectural space, and policy governance. The study aims to review its effectiveness and propose adaptive strategies for the post-pandemic era. The results show that the COVID-19 epidemic has indeed had a specific impact on the industrial economy, medical care, social care of underprivileged minorities , and urban and architectural space, and the governance strategies adopted by the Kaohsiung City Government have indeed effectively mitigated the impact of the epidemic. This study is expected to provide a reference and preparation for the next challenges, guiding the transition to a new lifestyle after the pandemic. |
