At the national meeting of reviewing emergency anti-epidemic work held on August 10, in Pyongyang - the capital city of the DPRK – the respected General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea proclaimed to the world the victory in the top-level emergency anti-epidemic war to wipe out novel corona virus within the territory of our Republic and defend life and health of our people.

Our people are now expressing the deepest gratitude to the respected General Secretary who has brought about miraculous anti-epidemic triumph unknown to the world’s healthcare history by means of ardent love and devotion in a short period: 100 days since the inflow of the malignant virus and 91 days since we switched the national anti-epidemic work to a top-level emergency anti-epidemic system.

When everyone was at a loss what to do before the terrifying fact of the inflow of the malignant virus, the respected General Secretary convened 8th meeting of the Political Bureau of the 8th Central Committee of the WPK and other important Party meetings one after another and saw to it that the national anti-epidemic work was switched to the top-level anti-epidemic system and strong and proactive anti-epidemic policies and measures were taken.

Active anti-epidemic measures were enforced accordingly; every region and unit was locked down across the country, intensive screening and strict examination of the entire population was carried out, state reserve medicines were immediately released and promptly delivered to the disease-affected areas, etc.

In addition to this, many works were conducted on a national scale to wipe out the malignant pandemic from our territory at the earliest time possible and restore anti-epidemic stability. They include stricter measures of medical monitoring, quarantine and treatment for suspect cases, rational application of scientific treatment tactics and methods, works for increasing scientific anti-epidemic awareness of the entire population and wide dissemination of common knowledge about prevention and treatment of the disease.

The respected General Secretary was not satisfied with such a strong and timely national step taken one after another. He did not hesitate to visit pharmacies exposed to the malignant virus to inquire in detail about actual state of medicine supply and also sent his family’s reserve medicines to the needy families. This has inspired and encouraged the people across the country.

He also sent the military medics of the Korean People’s Army to the emergency anti-epidemic front of the capital city so as to give full display to the might of army-people unity, and led the entire people to tide over the difficulties by dint of the communist virtue and traits of helping and leading each other.

During the days of the top-level emergency anti-epidemic war, he himself was suffering from a high fever. But he could not go to bed even for a single moment as he was sunk in thought about the people he should take responsibility till the end. The number of document he personally guided with regards to the anti-epidemic work was 1,772 of 22,956-page long. Through this fact alone, we can fully understand the world of fervent love and devotion he bestowed on people to protect them from the threat of malignant disease, who were as same as blood and flesh to him.

“If it were not our Marshal…”, this is the confession from the bottom of hearts of our people who saved themselves and their children and restored their health and laughter at the expense of the love and devotion of a great father.

Until today, the people of numerous countries in the world are still living in anxiety and fear as their countries continue to record the increase in the number of infected and mortality case caused by the malignant virus. Along with the malignant virus, all sorts of social evils brought by the prolonged health crisis are also threatening the lives and existence of people every moment.

But our people are experiencing the joy of a new life on this clean land, the only virus-free zone in the world, which has been exchanged with the love and devotion of the respected Comrade General Secretary.

Indeed, the person who brought the great victory in anti-epidemic work is none other than the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , and his fervent love and devotion for people was the main source which gave birth to a new miracle, the unheard-of miracle in preventing epidemics in the world.
