South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported citing Pyongyang media that four new cases of coronavirus infection were detected in North Korea days after the country’s leader Kim Jong-un announced victory over him.
According to Yonhap, North Korea’s Central News Agency reported that new cases of infection were found in Ryangan province in northeast North Korea.
The authorities isolated the area and sent epidemiological teams there.
This comes two weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared victory over the coronavirus in the country.
The leader’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, a senior official in the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, repeated accusations that South Korea had transmitted the virus to the country and threatened to liquidate Seoul’s authorities.
