North Korean leader Kim Jong-un suffered a high fever while taking measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Vice-Chairman Kim Yo-jong said.
Kim Yeo-jung, who took part as a panelist at the National Emergency Quarantine Conference held in Pyongyang yesterday (10th), emphasized that Secretary Kim made a dedication to the people during the COVID-19 crisis, she asserted:
Kim Yeo-jung said, "From the moment that Secretary-General Kim was informed of the outbreak of Corona 19 until now, he has been working hard, not letting go of his heart for a moment and overcoming the great difficulties in his heart." “, he added.
She wrote the expression, "Even though he was seriously ill in the high fever of the quarantine war, he was unable to lie down for even a moment because of the people he had to take responsibility for until the end."
It is unusual for North Korea to explain the state of health of its supreme leader, and this is an interesting topic.
However, it is not clear whether the symptoms of high fever simply mean fever or COVID-19 infection.
The expression 'malignant virus' or 'malignant epidemic', which means Corona 19 virus in North Korea, was not mentioned together.
An official from the Ministry of Unification explained, "There is nothing to confirm officially" when asked by reporters about the possibility of General Secretary Kim being infected with Corona 19.
In the sense that Kim Yo-jong's remarks are propaganda of Kim Jong-un's so-called corona leadership, there is a possibility that it is a dimension to highlight the hard work of the supreme leader.
Kim Yeo-jung also emphasized that "the number of documents in Yeongdo, in which the 91-day arduous Marshal guided the country's quarantine project, alone amounted to a whopping 1,772 cases and 2,956 pages."
Even after the infiltration of Corona 19, it seems that there has been no vaccination against COVID-19 in North Korea.
In his speech, Secretary-General Kim said, "Overcoming the epidemic outbreak that was rampant in Korea, where no vaccine has been administered yet, in such a short period of time" is "a remarkable miracle that will be noted in the history of world health." claimed.
