In North Korea, 11,211 people had been tested for Corona19 by the 16th, and all were judged negative.

Edwin Salvador, Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Pyongyang made the comments in an email sent to the Radio Freedom of America (RFA) on the 29th (local time).

Salvador says 696 North Koreans are currently in quarantine, and they are workers at the Nampo port or the Dandong border between Sinuiju and Liaoning Province in China.

It means that any person who comes into contact with items brought into North Korea from outside is quarantined.

The WHO found that by the 9th, North Korea had quarantined 610 people by conducting corona19 tests on 1,117 people.

In just one week, both testers and quarantines have grown to nearly 100.

"The recent rise in Corona 19 in China has been increasing," said Salvador. "We are strengthening surveillance of North Korean health authorities and border control."

In addition, the RFA reported that the North Korean foreign ministry has recently been reported to have distributed new quarantine guidelines to foreign missions and humanitarian organizations in Pyongyang.

Under the new guidelines, diplomats and humanitarian workers in Pyongyang are not allowed to travel and travel outside Pyongyang, and must wear a mask when traveling by car within Pyongyang.

North Korea recently reported that North Korean defectors from Kaesong, North Korea, are suspected to be corona 19 confirmers.
