Pyongyang, May 23 (KCNA) -- All the people of the DPRK maintain the current favorable turn in the anti-epidemic campaign with maximum awareness, in response to the call of the Party Central Committee for defending their precious life and future with confidence in sure victory and redoubled great efforts.

Amid affirmative trend shown in the nationwide situation of epidemic spread, all the officials, Party members, working people and servicepersons across the country are doing their utmost to completely block and eradicate the source of the epidemic, with higher tension and self-confidence.

A dynamic ideological offensive was launched to make all the officials and working people strive with conviction that a decisive guarantee for great victory in the epidemic prevention lies in firmly arming themselves with the Party's line and policies and thoroughly implementing them.

The Cabinet and public health and scientific research sectors held a consultative meeting to analyze the cause of failure to sensitively cope with the grave health crisis in the country, the experience of epidemic treatment, advantages and shortcomings and to study the rational ways for initiatively and remarkably developing the state ability to cope with crisis before stepping up the preparations.

The crisis and responsibility awareness is further enhanced in every region, sector, workplace and post across the country to maintain the favorable turn in the epidemic prevention work and all inroads of the epidemic are checked through the strict execution of regional and unit lockdown and blockade measures.

The emergency epidemic prevention and public health sectors more responsibly carry out checkups of such persons making contact with many residents as prevention and medical workers and mobile service team members, urging them to always maintain the perfect self-protection posture.

They adopt timely relevant measures based on scientific and comprehensive analysis of the all-people intensive medical check-up by each province, city, county and subject.

While finding and stamping out channels where fever patients occur, each region, sector and unit proactively carry out the work to encourage and spread methods conducive to the treatment and prevention of the epidemic to all employees and residents.

Servicepersons of the Korean People's Army military medical sector steering the epidemic prevention campaign in the capital city formed dozens of mobile treatment and medicine supply teams. They visit units with a high outbreak of fever patients and actively wage a struggle for medicine supply and treatment, while fully displaying good traits of army-people unity by preparing and sending healthy foodstuffs and daily necessities to many families.

Officials in the public health sector, officials, teachers and students of medical colleges and workers in charge of hygiene across the country have striven to fulfill their responsible duty in the anti-epidemic war.

Dosage is properly confirmed on the basis of the close observation and detailed analysis of symptoms of fevered persons and signal progress is made in the treatment.

Officials and workers of pharmaceutical factories and medical instrument production units are speeding up the production with transparent awareness that they are entirely in charge of epidemic prevention arsenal.

All sectors and units of the national economy put spurs to the production and construction for accelerating the overall development of socialism while conducting a statewide anti-epidemic campaign ceaselessly and intensively.

The state economic guidance organs, including the Cabinet and the Agricultural Commission, have scrupulously organized the work to mobilize manpower and means in the immediate campaign for support to the farming under the maximum emergency epidemic prevention system. -0-
