The propaganda lie of “victory over the pandemic” collapses: dictator Kim Jong-un imposes a blockade on the capital because of “respiratory diseases”.
Corona panic reigns in Pyongyang. As the AFP news agency reports, citing the exile website NK News, the North Korean government has imposed an initial five-day curfew in the capital. The blockade is justified with a new wave of acute “respiratory diseases”. All three million residents were instructed not to leave their homes until at least Sunday. In addition, they have to measure their body temperature several times a day and immediately inform the authorities if the values are high.
The population seems to have already distrusted the lockdown. NK News reports on hamster purchases in recent days.
