All the provinces have organized emergency convoys to supply medicines on a regular basis to pharmacies and preventive and curative organs in cities and counties. And officials of the Party and power organs make a field survey of the sale of medicines every day to immediately solve knotty problems.

After learning about the distribution of drugstores in Ryongsong, Ryokpho, Rangnang and Sadong districts and other surrounding areas, members of the military medical field of the Korean People's Army additionally installed more than 20 temporary mobile medicine service centers in close connection with officials of Party and power organs. And they are devoting themselves to the supply of medicines and treatment, visiting families with fevered persons.

Officials of preventive and curative organs and teachers and students of medical worker training institutions across the country have conducted a 24-hour service campaign, dedicating their utmost sincerity to the protection of lives and health of the people.

Meanwhile, all the people across the country fulfill their duty as citizen, fully displaying the communist virtues and traits in the anti-epidemic campaign with the noble love of the Party Central Committee for the people deeply kept in mind. Their sincere deeds greatly contribute to cementing the epidemic prevention front.

Every sector of the national economy is stepping up the production and construction while strictly observing the isolation step.
