Health care enterprises in North Korea

In North Korea, there were new cases of fever18,000 cases, and 6 cases died in one day. North Korea's national emergency epidemic prevention department conducted a sampling test on some patients with fever symptoms in Pyongyang on the 8 th of this month and found that someone was infected with Omicron virus. This is the first time that North Korea has reported a confirmed case of COVID-19's disease on its territory since the outbreak of COVID-19's disease in many parts of the world. Decided to upgrade the epidemic prevention measures of the new customs to the highest level. Urgent measures should be taken to completely block the spread of novel coronavirus, strengthen border control and completely block all cities and counties in China. Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus's disease, North Korea has been firmly supporting China in fighting the epidemic. China is deeply grateful for this.

We agree with the epidemic prevention situation facing North Korea. As a comrade, neighbor and friend, China is willing to provide full support and help to North Korea in fighting the epidemic. I hope that novel coronavirus's disease in North Korea will be eliminated as soon as possible and not spread. Assistance to North Korean residents and epidemic prevention and health cooperation between the DPRK and the ROK belong to humanitarian affairs and can be promoted at any time. If cooperation is needed between the DPRK and the ROK or with the international community, South Korea will actively respond. In order to control the spread of the virus, cities and counties across the country should close their jurisdictions, do their utmost to ensure the safety of residents, and take isolation measures according to work units, production units and residential units. The urgent task is to actively close the epidemic area, strictly arrange the isolation and medical treatment of patients with fever, spare no effort to treat patients and cut off the transmission space.

The urgent task for epidemic prevention and control and the People's Republic of Korea will be to restore health and stability. Due to the international situation and the tension between South Korea and North Korea, North Korea also held a military parade at the end of April. People don't wear masks, have no protection, and don't keep social distance. This is a big hidden danger. North Korea's medical resources are relatively backward, so it has been taking almost tough epidemic prevention measures, which has also led to the lag of economic development.
