North Korea has not confirmed any cases of the virus, but state media said a month-long quarantine period had been imposed for people showing symptoms.

SEOUL - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw military drills on Friday, state media KCNA said, a rare public outing amid efforts to prevent an outbreak of the coronavirus in the isolated country.

The military drill was to"judge the mobility and the fire power strike ability" on the frontline and eastern units and ended to the"great satisfaction" of Kim, KCNA said on Saturday. "In case the infectious disease spreading beyond control finds its way into our country, it will entail serious consequences," Kim was quoted as telling the meeting."No special cases must be allowed within the state anti-epidemic system."
