North Korea: "Do Not Show Even 0.001% Flaw"... Strengthening COVID-19 Response

[Asia Economy Reporter Sung Kiho] North Korea emphasized the lockdown of border and coastal areas in relation to the prevention of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the 26th, the Korean Central News Agency reported in an article titled "Continuing to Strengthen Prevention Measures in Emergency Prevention Departments at All Levels" that "an aggressive prevention campaign is being intensively carried out to proactively respond to the pandemic," and stated, "It is well understood that the key point of prevention work in border, coastal, and demarcation line areas is blocking and lockdown, and efforts are being made to strengthen public education and control."

It added, "All officials are establishing a strict control and guidance system to ensure that not even a momentary mistake or a 0.001% loophole occurs."

The Korean Central Broadcasting, which is listened to by all residents, also encouraged active prevention efforts.

The broadcast reported, "We are boldly moving away from the passive approach of following up with measures and firmly seizing the initiative in the prevention campaign, focusing our main efforts on thoroughly blocking all spaces where malicious viruses could enter from outside."

At the beginning of this year, when COVID-19 began to spread, North Korea locked down the border, including the North Korea-China border area, to prevent the virus.
