North Korea's ruling party has delivered special aid packages of food and medical equipment to residents of Kaesong, near the border with the South, after imposing a lockdown there due to COVID-19 concerns, state media said on Sunday.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared an emergency and imposed a lockdown on the small border town last month after a person, who defected to South Korea in 2017, returned to Kaesong across the highly fortified border showing coronavirus symptoms. State television on Sunday showed a train arriving at the Kaesong station and trucks delivering supplies to residents.

The official KCNA news agency said the shipments arrived on Friday to help the residents cope with the lockdown, which “may lead to a deadly and destructive disaster.”

This isn’t a matter of rights, but of decorum. It would be like showing up to a business meeting wearing beach clothes. If I showed up to work (professional contractors) looking like I was about to hit the clubs, they would send me home to change.
