In this regard, Pak Myong Su, director of the State Sanitary Inspection Board under the Ministry of Public Health, told KCNA:

Thorough medical inspection has been made at airport, harbor, border railway station and other entries.

Hygienic and anti-epidemic officials and health workers are conducting diverse hygienic propaganda activities in residential districts and work sites.

Citizens are advised to take such self-protective measures as either avoiding flu patients if possible or wearing masks in case of need.

Special attention has also been paid to anti-epizootic work and disinfection.
