In this regard, Jang Chun Il, an official of the State Sanitary Inspection Board, told KCNA:

In our country the hygienic and anti-epidemic institutions are playing a big role in implementing the line of prophylactic medicine advanced by the Workers' Party of Korea.

Strict measures have been taken to prevent the country from worldwide epidemics.

The National Hygienic and Anti-epidemic Center has steadily input the latest information on infectious diseases to its database, so as to intensify information exchanges with hygienic and anti-epidemic institutions throughout the country.

Meanwhile, relevant institutions have actively conducted hygienic information service activities among residents.
