Abstract
In the event of a fatal infectious disease in the country, it is very important that the government respond quickly and prevent the secondary infection of the people to prevent the subsequent spread of damage. However, in order to detect infectious diseases in existing medical institutions, and to reach the KCDCP(Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) a total of four steps must be taken. In this paper, we simplifies the existing reporting process using the open blockchain. In addition, not only infectious disease related organizations share infectious disease information on the blockchain, but also grant access to the blockchain to ordinary citizens. By sharing information quickly and transparently revealing the process, we can add credibility to the response to the outbreak and official announcements. The public can also build efficient next-generation defense systems by checking information on the blockchain to prevent secondary infections.
