Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- State efforts are focused on the work to further ramp up the country's ability to control the overall anti-epidemic situation to completely restore the anti-epidemic security at the earliest date possible in the DPRK. The state emergency anti-epidemic headquarters reinforce the overall anti-epidemic principles and measures and action tactics to cope with the possible outbreak and inroads of epidemic diseases including new variants of COVID-19 and focus on making institutional, manpower, material and technical preparations to control and manage any pandemic crisis in a stable way. They make sure that emergency anti-epidemic organs at all levels, public health organs and scientific research institutions successfully steer the anti-epidemic campaign. Anti-epidemic officials and hygienic workers across the country raise the people's consciousness of crisis and voluntary unity by continuously waging an offensive publicity and educational campaign to ensure that the people are not relaxed about COVID-19 now that the nationwide anti-epidemic situation has reached the phase of complete stability. They also thoroughly quarantine those exhibiting abnormal symptoms through responsible medical checkups and further intensify the sterilization of all living, manufacturing and working sites. In close touch and cooperation with educational and scientific research organs, study and discussion are intensified to develop a program for identifying and diagnosing COVID-19 and verify the mutation points and directions of its variants and sub-variants to predict the outbreak of a new variant on the basis of the analysis of the clinical symptoms of the contagious virus. Stricter state steps are taken to thoroughly control and curb seasonal diseases such as an enteric epidemic and the role of preventive and curative medical care organs enhanced. In addition, primary efforts are directed to building examination centers equipped with modern appliances in several areas to build up an orderly system for monitoring the inroads, outbreak and spread of pathogenic microorganisms. |
