"Whereas" is a synonym of "though", and it could be used in that sentence too. But the specific meaning of "where" in that sentence is "in the coronavirus situation", comparing the success of South Korea and the failure of other countries in that same effort. Yes, this use is like that of "where" in your sentence about caregivers. Notice that you could substitute "though" in that sentence too. | |

Can we understand "where" in the sentence as "whereas"? as in, "where some caregivers burn out, others become too involved" | |
