There were interesting moments in North Korea, which recently announced the cases of the coronavirus epidemic that emerged in China and spread all over the world. Claiming that the epidemic did not spread in the country from the beginning of the Kovid-19 epidemic until recently, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un smoked a cigarette at the emergency Kovid-19 meeting.
According to the news of Indy100 site, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un criticized the country’s “immature” measures at the meeting.
SMOKING AT THE MEETING
During the emergency meeting where the Kovid-19 crisis was discussed, Kim’s smoking during the meeting was reflected in the footage, who said to the authorities that they increased the “complexity and difficulties” of the fight against the epidemic.
It was seen in the footage that Kim, who met with the authorities around a table, criticized the methods of combating Kovid-19 by shaking his cigarette.
In North Korea, which reported a single case of Kovid-19 for a long time, it was reported that the number of cases reached 1.72 million, and 62 people died.
EPIDEMIC CAN CAUSE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN NORTH KOREA
It was announced that 6 people died in the country on May 13, and it was officially announced that the death of only one of these people was caused by the Omicron variant of Kovid-19.
A major epidemic in North Korea, where the health system is not so good and the people are not vaccinated against Kovid-19, could lead to a humanitarian crisis.
North Korea had rejected the offer of millions of doses made by the World Health Organization’s Global Access Program for Covid-19 Vaccines (COVAX), which aims to ensure equal access to vaccines for low- and middle-income countries.
While North Korea claims that the epidemic did not spread in the country thanks to determined measures, it is stated that the closed border gates dealt a serious blow to the country’s economy. (AA)
