Stable Anti-epidemic Barrier Maintained in DPRK
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The spread of new COVID-19 variants getting more serious in the world calls upon the DPRK to further strengthen its anti-epidemic barrier capable of fully coping with any threat and challenge while completely eradicating the malignant virus that made inroads into the country.

As regards the fact that the highly-epidemic Omicron sub-variant BA.5 with strong immunoevasin spreads across neighboring countries and regions rapidly, the state emergency anti-epidemic headquarters is scrupulously working out plans and conducting guidance to thoroughly check the inroads of the epidemic and quickly issue and distribute anti-epidemic regulations, rules and hygienic information that are further itemized and detailed.

An intensive information work to explain in plain language the danger of various epidemic diseases and anti-epidemic and hygienic information and scientific treatment methods is conducted more dynamically through media and educational networks.

Relevant experts in the public health and anti-epidemic sectors are dispatched to areas with outbreaks of fever cases to carry out a detailed survey such as confirming epidemiologic relations, clinical observation and experiment and test.

While finding any tiny gaps and faults that may damage the anti-epidemic barrier and taking relevant measures, they constantly raise alertness against the outbreak of fever case and scientifically and accurately make clear their causes. And they intensify treatment and disinfection to completely stamp out the epidemic.

Central-level hospitals conduct the work for perfecting efficient treatment methods for aftereffects of COVID-19 according to age, constitutional characteristics, connections with diseases, medicinal usage and symptoms, improving treatment tactics and sharing good experience.

While frequently carrying out consultations on diagnosis and treatment measures for patients with abnormal symptoms at local hospitals through a telemedicine system, they regularly organize courses to enhance the technical and practical qualifications of medical workers.

Officials in the fields of commerce, public catering service and passenger service make sure that customers do not neglect anti-epidemic regulations and push ahead with work to ceaselessly improve service atmosphere and conditions in conformity with anti-epidemic demands.
