North Korea has released a survey result that the inflow route of the new coronavirus has led to the spread of infection nationwide from the area near the military demarcation line with South Korea.
The first infected person claimed to have developed the disease after touching a suspicious object attached to the balloon, suggesting that the source of the infection was a balloon with a villa that criticized North Korea flying from the South Korean side. ..
North Korea has announced that the cumulative number of fever has risen to more than 4.7 million since it was first confirmed in May that it was infected with the new coronavirus.
North Korea's state-run Korean Central Television reported on the 1st that the results of the investigation on the virus inflow route were released.
According to it, on the Kangwon Road near the military demarcation line with South Korea, 18-year-old military personnel were in the military facility and 5-year-old kindergarten children were in the mountains at the beginning of April. After touching "things", symptoms appeared and the test confirmed infection with the new coronavirus.
After people in this area visited the capital Pyongyang in mid-April, it is said that it led to the spread of the infection nationwide.
Authorities haven't given details about "unfamiliar things," but point out that they are attached to balloons.
In the vicinity of the North-South military demarcation line, South Korean defectors' groups are flying balloons with villas criticizing North Korea, and it seems that North Korea suggested that these balloons were the source of infection. ..
