North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un Says The Pandemic Has Caused A 'Great Crisis'

 

The Guardian: North Korea Covid-19 outbreak fears after Kim Jong-un warns of ‘huge crisis’ in ‘antivirus fight’ 

Leader speaks of a grave incident and sacks officials for neglecting duties in fighting ‘global health crisis’
