Nearly all surveyed drug sellers (i.e. pharmacists) in the city of Incheon and the provinces of Gyeonggi and Gangwon indicated a decrease, whether small or large, in outpatient prescriptions following the COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea in early 2020. Around half said they had seen decreases of between 11 percent and 30 percent. This trend matches that of most other regions in Korea. Only a small share of four percent of the pharmacists in these city and provinces said there had been no change or even increases in prescriptions. This decrease is attributed to fewer hospital visits in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.
