In this regard, Prof. and Dr. Choe Chang Sik, director of the Public Health Administration Institute under the Ministry of Public Health, told KCNA:

Some days ago the director of the Regional Office for South-East Asia of the World Health Organization called for raising awareness against Ebola.

At present, information activities and strict border quarantine are being conducted in the country. Foreign travelers and foreigners are subjected to a rigorous quarantine with advanced facilities.

Measures were also taken to develop preventive medicine against Ebola with regular hygienic and anti-epidemic work.

An official of the ministry said that Pyongyang City is taking the lead in the anti-Ebola campaign, adding medical workers in Rangnang District concentrate efforts on informing the inhabitants of Ebola virus and its damage.

Such information activities against Ebola can be seen in buses and other passenger transportation means.
