Nearly all surveyed drug sellers (i.e. pharmacists) in the city of Daejeon and the provinces of North and South Chungcheong indicated a decrease, whether small or large, in outpatient prescriptions following the COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea in early 2020. A particularly large share reported decreases in prescriptions of over 40 percent. The overall decrease is attributed to fewer hospital visits in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.
