Are there any people infected with the new coronavirus in North Korea? When the epidemic in China was gradually alleviated, we found that South Korea, Japan, Italy and other countries had outbreaks, and some countries may be even more serious than Wuhan. So, is there an epidemic in North Korea, which is so close to South Korea? It is said that there is no coronavirus pneumonia in North Korea at present. Why is there no coronavirus in North Korea? Let's take a look at the reasons!

Are there any people infected with the new coronavirus in North Korea?

No.

In today's society, geographical distance does not matter, as we are all in the same global village. Therefore, geographical distance is not the main factor affecting the spread of the epidemic. The most important impact lies in the mutual flow of people. The main way the coronavirus spreads is person-to-person. Only frequent movement of people can cause the virus to spread rapidly. North Korea's national policy is to close its doors to the outside world. It has less communication with other countries, including China, and there is less movement of people. Therefore, there are currently no coronavirus infections in North Korea.

Why is there no coronavirus outbreak in North Korea?

At the beginning of the outbreak, the North Korean government strictly controlled the introduction of the epidemic and cut off the spread of the epidemic at the source. However, this approach of North Korea is difficult for other countries to imitate.

There are indeed no cases in North Korea, mainly because the main transmission route of the new coronavirus is airborne, and airborne transmission is mainly in the form of droplets and aerosols, which means that they need a host to infect people around them. North Korea is usually in a closed-door state, and after the outbreak, it strictly implemented the isolation and quarantine system. People inside cannot go out and people outside cannot come in. Therefore, no matter how powerful the virus is, it is impossible for it to float thousands of kilometers to infect new hosts.

Why is Korea divided into South Korea and North Korea?

After Japan surrendered in 1945, the Korean Peninsula was divided by the Soviet Union and the United States at the 38th parallel north. With the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Republic of Korea (also known as South Korea or South Korea) was established in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula in August 1948, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (also known as North Korea or North Korea) was established in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula in September 1948.

The coronavirus epidemic has caused concern around the world. Once this highly contagious disease is introduced into North Korea, it will cause serious consequences. Therefore, the North Korean Party and government took emergency epidemic prevention measures at the early stage of the epidemic, taking physical measures such as closing the border to cut off the transmission route of the epidemic, and stepped up epidemic prevention and health publicity to mobilize all North Korean people to prevent the epidemic.

In addition to strengthening quarantine and disinfection measures, the North Korean government has also extended student holidays, suspended various gatherings and required local residents to wear masks. It is precisely because of these strong, preemptive epidemic prevention measures that there are no infected people in North Korea. The article once again emphasized that there are currently no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in North Korea. However, we must not relax our vigilance because of temporary peace.
