North Korea’s state news television has warned people to stay home as the wind is blowing yellow dust from China and there are fears that the coronavirus will enter the country with it. THE BBC According to the warning, the streets of Pyongyang’s capital were completely emptied on Thursday and construction was also halted.

Stealthy North Korea claims the coronavirus has escaped the country, although this is not true according to Western news. It is also suspicious that in a dictatorial state, the movement of citizens continues to be severely restricted and border crossings are closed.

The yellow dust mentioned in the news could be a cloud of dust from the deserts of Mongolia and China, which will reach North Korea in certain seasons. In this case, dust is mixed, which is toxic and, in addition to the north, it is also a serious health problem in the south.

There is no scientific evidence that with the well-known yellow dust phenomenon, someone can contract the coronary virus that causes the pandemic. THE BBC He also notes that in also dictatorial Turkmenistan, people were previously forced to wear masks, citing a cloud of viral dust, while denying that the epidemic has appeared in the country.
