If the epidemic is outbreak, the consequences may be serious.

The epidemic prevention system is promoted to the highest level
Kim Jong -un, North Korea's top leader, held an emergency countermeasure meeting of the crown disease epidemic yesterday and signed the "emergency instruction document" drafted by the Politburo to increase the national epidemic prevention to the highest level of "the largest emergency epidemic prevention system".
Kim Jong -un instructed the city and county to completely block, and all causes, production, and living units should organize production and life under isolation to block the transmission chain of the virus.He also emphasized that the need to strengthen the alert of front lines, borders, sea areas, and airspace to ensure that national defense is abnormal.
It is reported that the Politburo has also criticized the inadequate work of the epidemic prevention department, and failed to properly respond to the epidemic situation of the transmission of crown disease strains in the world.
North Korea has strictly blocked the border in the early days of the outbreak of the epidemic in North Korea, saying that there are no crown cases in the territory, but some experts believe that the virus may have spread in North Korea.
Professor Lee Leif, a professor at the South Korean Pear Flower University, pointed out that North Korea has publicly acknowledged the occurrence of Omikon cases, showing that the domestic public health situation was severe.
Professor Yang Wuren of the Seoul North Korea Research University believes that Pyongyang may be implying that it is willing to cooperate with the international community in response to the epidemic.
The Yonhap News Agency issued relevant reports from the DPRK yesterday morning that North Korea may hold the meeting in the early morning of the day.The media did not post the news the next day, highlighting North Korea's attention to the epidemic.
North Korea has previously refused to allow the World Health Organization, China, Russia, etc. to provide vaccines. The local population is likely to have not vaccinated vaccines.
Zheng Xiangchang, an expert in North Korea, believes that North Korea should avoid extreme seal control measures taken by China, but even limited blocking may lead to serious food shortage and chaos.
Lin Yichuan, a professor of research professor of North Korea at Qingnan University, pointed out that if North Korea cannot curb virus transmission, it may lead to a large number of deaths, causing the Kim Jong -un regime to face an "unprecedented crisis."
nuclear test plan or live change
The crown disease epidemic may also affect the Korean military plan.The United States had previously warned that North Korea conducted nuclear tests as soon as this month.Yang Wuren believes that North Korea may be put on the test because of focusing on resistance, but if the epidemic spreads and exacerbates public panic, it will not rule out that Kim Jong -un will conduct nuclear tests according to the plan.
Yang Wuren also pointed out that if South Korea and the United States provide humanitarian assistance to North Korea, they may eventually lead to negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington.
South Korea and China have shown their willingness to help the North Korean side.Quan Ning Shi, who was nominated for the Chief of the South Korean Ministry of Unity, said at the nominated hearing yesterday that the South Korean side has intended to provide anti -epidemic supplies aid for North Korea, and has prepared a budget for it.
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian said on the same day that China has a sense of prevention of the current situation facing the North Korean party. As comrades, neighbors and friends, China is always ready to support the North Korean party to fight against the epidemic.
