SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned top party officials of the"serious consequences" of failing to prevent an outbreak of the new coronavirus in the country, state media reported Saturday .
Two senior officials - party vice-chairmen Ri Man Gon and Pak Thae Dok - were sacked, and a party unit disbanded for corruption, the report said, indicating that they may have been involved in graft linked with the anti-epidemic measures."No special cases must be allowed," he added, and ordered officials to"seal off all the channels and space through which the infectious disease may find its way".
With loudspeakers blaring hygiene messages, ambassadors locked in their compounds, and state media demanding"absolute obedience", North Korea's anti-coronavirus measures have been described as"unprecedented" by diplomats. Germany's ambassador to the United Nations has said the Security Council would adopt humanitarian exemptions to the sanctions imposed on Pyongyang over its weapons programmes, and allow the export of equipment to help North Korea fight the coronavirus.
