足不出户 走遍全世界
一 | Danielle 编译 据1 News报道，科罗曼德尔的Whitianga Care Centre养老院近日爆发流感，六名老人死亡。 Most missing adults are found quickly, but gaps in the system can have deadly consequences Police search for Jang Mi-ran, a 37-year-old reported missing in May, at a palm farm in Hallim-eup, Jeju Island. Jang was found dead Monday. (Yonhap)The death of Jang Mi-ran after her missing-person case was allegedly closed on false grounds has renewed scrutiny of South Korea’s system for finding missing adults.South Korea tracks missing-person reports involving adults, but ordinary adult cases are not covered by the same legal framework that allows nationwide alerts, certain forms of location tracking and DNA testing for children, people with specified disabilities and people with dementia.More than 70,000 adults were reported missing each year between 2022 and 2025. Most cases were resolved quickly, with 89.4 percent closed within a day last year and 99 percent within a month, according to National Police Agency data.Of the 70,591 adult missing-person cases closed in 2025, 931 involved people who were found dead.Jang’s case has drawn attention to what can happen when a case is closed before a missing person’s safety has been confirmed.A Jeju police officer surnamed Bu is accused of falsely telling Jang’s boyfriend and family that she was safe but did not want to be found. Police have said they found no records showing that Bu contacted her.Bu is accused of making a similar false claim in another missing-person case involving a man in his 60s, who was also later found dead.The cases have revived a long-running debate over whether police need stronger legal authority to search for missing adults, and how far those powers should extend without infringing on privacy.Gaps in adult casesJang’s cousin reportedly went to Seoul’s Nowon Police Station on July 19 to request another search for her, about two months after Bu allegedly told the family that Jang had been contacted and was safe.Nowon officials reportedly questioned whether Jang, as an adult, might simply have left voluntarily.The high rate of quick case closures has raised concern that some adult cases are treated as routine disappearances. Bu handled and closed 298 missing-person cases during roughly 17 months on a missing-person team.Meanwhile, the number of cases ending in death is not insignificant. Between 2016 and 2025, 13,639 missing adults were eventually found dead, an average of about 1,364 a year. Thousands of long-term cases also remain unsolved. Police search for Jang Mi-ran, a 37-year-old reported missing in May, at a harbor in Jeju Island. Jang was found dead on Monday. (Yonhap)Police have fewer tools in ordinary adult cases.Nationwide missing-person alerts are generally sent out only for minors, people with certain disabilities and people with dementia. Of the 3,126 people found last year under that system, 696, or 22.3 percent, were located after reports from members of the public who had seen an alert.Police searches and investigations accounted for 39.2 percent of discoveries, according to a report jointly submitted by the National Police Agency and the Ministry of Health and Welfare.Ordinary missing adults generally do not qualify for such alerts.Police have used DNA testing since 2004 to identify missing children and other eligible groups. Ordinary adult cases are not covered by the same DNA collection and comparison framework.The scale of adult disappearances is also larger. About 70,800 adult missing-person reports were filed in 2025, more than twice the roughly 29,600 involving children.Legislative pushSouth Korea enacted the Act on the Protection and Support of Missing Children and Others in 2005, establishing the legal basis for many of the search tools used today. There is no equivalent comprehensive law for ordinary missing adults.Lawmakers have made repeated attempts to fill that gap.A bill proposed in 2024 by Rep. Lim Ho-seon of the Democratic Party of Korea would establish a separate information system for missing adults and give police clearer authority to obtain location and travel information.The proposal remains pending at the National Assembly alongside similar bills.Supporters argue that broader powers could help police act more quickly when an adult is in danger. Opponents warn that the same powers could be used to track people who have deliberately chosen to leave home or cut off contact.Adults generally have the right to decide where they live and whom they remain in contact with, making the issue more complicated than cases involving children or vulnerable people.Police can already obtain location information in some cases involving signs of imminent danger. The unresolved question is whether that authority should be expanded for missing adults more broadly.。 Advertise with us 1月28日，新西兰卫生局接到通知称该养老院爆发流感。
二 | Dr Felicity Dumble表示，国家公共卫生服务部门（NPHS）为该养老院提供了防疫指导，疫情持续了近两周，于上周五（2月9日）结束。 该养老院所属的卫生机构Oceania Healthcare的销售和服务总经理Anita Hawthorne对逝者的家人和亲属表示“最深切的同情”。“我们与卫生部门密切合作，确保全面遵守防疫规定，包括深度清洁、隔离病例、穿戴个人防护装备等，因此没有再出现流感病例。” 一位该机构发言人称，44名老年住户中，有6人死于流感，许多工作人员也感染了病毒。 奥塔哥大学流行病学教授Michael Baker说，该养老院疫情的死亡人数很多，“就我所知，那里大约有40到45名老人被感染，这个群体的死亡风险非常高。约30%的工作人员和老年住户受到了影响，所以这是一次非常严重的爆发。” “最大的问题是，很多脆弱的老年人生活在狭小的环境中，成了流感病毒传播的温床。”他说，只要流感进入养老院，就可能导致“高死亡率”。因此，探望老人的家属要采取预防措施，阻止病毒通过气溶胶传播。
三 | 需要警惕的是，流感病毒如此爆发的情况，全年都可能发生。“新西兰每年约有500人死于流感（约占死亡人数的2%），大多发生在冬季。” 据英文《先驱报》报道，本次爆发的病毒被确定为甲型流感（influenza A）。ESR监测显示，截至12月中旬，在实验室分析的流感阳性样本中，甲型流感占了大约一半——其中3000多个是甲型H1N1流感。 相关阅读： 春节期间，当心这几种病！ 发现一例，确认“混合感染”！官方通报 甲流乙流叠加来袭如何应对 高烧不退！多种病毒叠加！权威解答 发烧4天，网红宝妈突然离世！病情发展太快… 叠加感染很可怕？支原体肺炎是新冠的变异？可以在家自愈？专家最新发声 注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。 chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有 (责编：丹妮) 来源 - 相关内容 奥克兰这家超市也发现老鼠！视频曝光...... 新西兰政坛巨头联合发声：关于中国，请奉行独立外交政策！ 新西兰这波疫情高峰过了吗？93%的感染是由于这一变种 AT无视成本大把花钱：一个交通项目建28个人行横道 火车频繁取消，奥克兰市长怒斥交通部门大佬：都是借口！ 还能65岁退休吗？以后领新西兰退休金要先收入测试？ 疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5878例 您有一份邀请函待接收！国会议员邀您共庆龙年。
