The havoc of Corona is increasing rapidly in North Korea. About 17 lakh people are corona positive here. On Tuesday, 2,69,510 new corona patients were found here. Six people have died within 24 hours due to a corona infection. Since April, 62 people have died due to infection. The army has been deployed in front of all drug shops in the capital Pyongyang.

 

The situation is getting worse due to not having enough test kits to test the corona. Because of the uncontrollable infection in North Korea and the fear of anger among the people, dictator Kim Jong Un has taken thousands of soldiers out on the streets. According to the report of the United Nations, North Korea and the African country Eritrea have not taken the vaccine in the world.

 

40% malnourished... who are exacerbating the effects of the virus

 

About 40% of people in North Korea are malnourished. Because of these, the coronavirus is becoming more and more uncontrollable. Amid this crisis, South Korea had offered to provide masks, vaccines, and test kits to North Korea, but Kim refused.

 

According to experts, North Korea's health system with a population of 26 million is the worst in the world. There is a severe shortage of hospitals, special care units, covid medicine, and testing systems. Regarding this, the US has warned that if the situation does not improve soon, then there may be a coup against Kim.

 

North Korea has rejected all proposals to take WHO's vaccine

 

Before the virus spread in North Korea, China and the WHO had made several proposals for a Covid vaccine to Kim, but he turned it down. However, after the rapid spread of infection in the country, China has once again made new proposals to North Korea.
