Always a pleasure to watch Ri Chun-hee anchoring the news.
Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un told an enlarged meeting on Thursday of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea that the country has “thoroughly prevented the inroads of the malignant virus and maintained stable anti-epidemic situation despite the worldwide health crisis, which is a shining success achieved by the far-sighted leadership of the Party Central Committee and a high sense of voluntary spirit displayed by all people who move as one on orders of the Party Central Committee”.
But Kim sharply criticized the “inattention, onlooking and chronic attitude getting prevalent among officials, and violation of the rules of the emergency anti-epidemic work as this work takes on a protracted character”. He repeatedly warned that “hasty relief of anti-epidemic measures will result in unimaginable and irretrievable crisis”, stressing that “all the sectors and units should further strengthen the emergency anti-epidemic work till the danger of pandemic incoming is completely rid of.”
The officials approved new measures against the virus and expediting construction of the Pyongyang General Hospital.
