North Korea is confusing its citizens by telling medical workers to prepare for “battle” against coronavirus with stricter quarantine measures, all while still claiming the country remains virus free, sources in the country told RFA.
The government has been touting its success in preventing the virus with increasingly strict emergency quarantine measures. But now the people wonder if there really are no confirmed cases in the country if the authorities are saying healthcare personnel are on the front lines of a war against the virus.
“Recently, the Central Committee ordered health agencies here in South Hamgyong province to make sure that emergency quarantine projects are carried out completely,” a resident of the eastern coastal province told RFA’s Korean Service.
