Over the past ten days under the top emergency anti-epidemic system, careful and minute plans have been worked out to keep production and construction going steadily and strong measures taken to implement them in all workplaces across the country though they were locked down and isolated according to regions and units.

The Ministry of Railways carried out the major freight transportation plan.

The Pyongyang General Electric Cable Factory 326, the Kusong Machine Tool Factory and other producers in the field of the machine-building industry hit their production targets for equipment and parts.

Rice-transplanting is in full swing on cooperative farms across the country.
