The Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the ruling Workers Party, called on the North Korean people to bear in mind that the inactivity of even one person could lead to a “serious problem” in the country.

“Under the prudent direction of the party our people have taken out the virus that has been terrorizing the world in a short time of time and have won in the battle against the epidemic, but the possibility of infection isn’t completely eliminated, and the nationwide emergency campaign to combat epidemics isn’t over at this point,” the paper said.
