The DPRK is stepping up the campaign to prevent COVID-19.
The central emergency anti-epidemic headquarters has timely revised and supplemented various directions including the rules of inspection and quarantine on border and the isolation guide by drawing on the experience it gained in the course of implementing anti-epidemic measures, and notified emergency anti-epidemic headquarters at all levels of them to review their work for the implementation of them and take necessary steps every day.
Over a hundred thousand officials of Party and administrative organs and working people’s organizations and medical workers visit institutions, enterprises, factories, cooperative farms and residential quarters across the country on a daily average to conduct political and information activities so as to make all the people remain alert to the danger of the novel coronavirus infection and timely informed of necessary information about COVID-19 including the route of its spread, symptoms of outbreak and preventive and curative measures.
Information activities are also conducted dynamically across the country by means of large electronic screens, loudspeaker vans and loudspeaker posts.
Scrupulous steps have been taken nationwide to completely block the route of its spread, including the prolongation of school vacations and the provisional suspension of operation of amusement parks and recreation grounds like the Masikryong Ski Resort and the ski run of the Yangdok Hot Spring Resort.
Those who had contact with returnees from foreign trip and those who show abnormal symptoms are found out thoroughly to separate them from others and put them under medical observation.
As birds are found dead from unknown cause and insects appear untimely, thorough examinations are conducted on collected samples.
The central emergency anti-epidemic headquarters have taken scrupulous steps for the medical examinations of foreigners in quarantine and others under medical observation and the provision of necessary conditions for their living.
