내일부터 코로나19•독감 동시 진단검사에 건강보험 적용

From Thursday, testing for both COVID-19 as well as the seasonal flu will be covered by public health insurance.
This comes after health officials approved a new type of test designed to detect both the coronavirus and seasonal flu from the same sample within six hours.
The test can cost around 80 U.S. dollars but it's expected to be cheaper with extra funding from the government combined with insurance coverage.
Previously, only tests for influenza during flu season was covered by the national health insurance scheme.

Just like Thalidomide. Thalidomide was a widely used drug in the late 1950s and early 1960s for the treatment of nausea in pregnant women. It became apparent in the 1960s that thalidomide treatment resulted in severe birth defects in thousands of children.
