Seoul: On Wednesday, 232,880 new cases of fever were registered in North Korea and six other people died. At the same time, leader Kim Jong Un has accused the officials of immaturity and slowness in dealing with the increasing corona cases in the country. Apart from this, the country’s Anti-Virus Headquarters said that 62 people have died and more than 17 lakh people have fallen ill due to the rapid spread of fever since the end of April. It has also been informed that more than one million people have been cured. But at least 691,170 are in isolation. At the same time, outside experts say that most of the cases will be of the corona. However, North Korea has admitted some cases of corona after the havoc of Omicron only last week.
At the same time, it is feared that if it fails to stop the outbreak, serious consequences can be seen in North Korea. Because the lives of 26 million people are at risk due to the country’s crumbling health system and neglect of vaccination. According to North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency, on Tuesday, Kim Jong Unquestioned the attitude of the authorities and expressed concern that the supply of medicines was not being done on time.
Apart from this, in the meeting, Kim Jong Un ordered his army to join the fight against the epidemic in Pyongyang. KCNA (Korean Central News Agency) said that North Korean officials expressed confidence during Tuesday’s meeting that they could deal with the epidemic on their own. At the same time, North Korean dictator Kim was seen wearing a mask for the first time last week.
State media photos from Tuesday’s meeting showed Kim and members of the Politburo without masks. At the same time, North Korea has so far ignored the vaccines, medicines, and health workers offered by South Korea. But experts say North Korea may be more willing to accept help from its main ally, China.
