North Korea on Friday identified the supposed source of its coronavirus outbreak for the first time, claiming people contracted the virus after coming into contact with “alien things” along its border with South Korea.
on May 12. On Friday, state media released findings of its investigation into the outbreak of the BA.2 omicron subvariant, which it said began when two people were exposed to the virus in early April “in a hill around barracks and residential quarters” in an eastern county near the demilitarized zone.
On Thursday, North Korea rejected efforts by the United States and other Western countries to provide coronavirus aid to help the impoverished, largely unvaccinated nation through its public health crisis. In a statement, the North Korean Foreign Ministry called the offers of aid a “clumsy farce” and “empty talk.”
A U.N. investigator this week questioned North Korea’s professed progress in managing the covid-19 situation, raising concerns about the lack of diagnostic capacities and other health resources, and a worsening food and humanitarian crisis.“From state media, information appears to mean everything is under control,” said Tomas Ojea Quintana, U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in North Korea.
