North Korea Raises Highest Quarantine Level … Emergency Before January Party Conference
North Korea upgrades to ‘Super Express’ again
Some stores, restaurants, etc. are discontinued … Resident movement restrictions
[앵커]
North Korean authorities have recently raised the quarantine level back to the highest level, while corona 19 diagnostic tests have been increased significantly. As the winter season rolls in, concerns about the spread of the infection have increased, and the Labor Party’s 8th Congress is a month ahead of the situation, and all efforts appear to be being quarantined. Reporter Lee Kyo-jun reported.
North Korean authorities have once again raised the quarantine level to the “super fast level”.
This is the third time after February and July.
Some shops, restaurants and public baths have been closed, and movement of residents has also been restricted.
Chosun Central Broadcasting reported that “we are strictly adhering to the emergency quarantine rules and order in accordance with the restoration of high-level emergency quarantine measures.”
The ‘Super Special’ scenario is the highest level of quarantine, and is a measure to block all spaces on land, sea and air, and to stop meetings and studies.
North Korean authorities say there are no confirmed cases yet, but an unusual draft is detected, such as the recent increase in prosecutors.
Edwin Salvador, head of the WHO Pyongyang office, said: “In recent weeks, North Korea has carried out an average of 1,000,600 corona 19 tests per week.”
According to WHO data, this is a notable increase, as only about 17,000 North Koreans had undergone diagnostic tests on the 25th of last month.

This is because at least 1,000 party members are expected to attend the conference, which will present the medium and long-term goals and political direction.
The National Intelligence Service also recently raised the possibility of the North Korean Party Congress being delayed after Corona 19 in a private report from the National Assembly Intelligence Committee.
