Let Us Conduct Intensive Drive to Prevent Novel Coronavirus Infection
It is necessary to redouble an effort to prevent the global rapid spread of the new coronavirus in order to reliably safeguard the life of the people and the security of the state.
To reliably defend the life and security of the people is a top-priority issue of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the state.
The DPRK is now pushing forward the work to thoroughly curb the spread of the virus. After the Party and the state took emergency measures, the hygienic and anti-epidemic system has been turned into a state emergency anti-epidemic system so as to eradicate everything fraught with a health risk caused by the virus, and the central, provincial, city and county emergency anti-epidemic headquarters were established to conduct the anti-epidemic work in a unified way.
The novel coronavirus throws the world into uneasiness and horror, but the advantages and might of our state system, which prioritizes the life and security of the people, will be fully demonstrated to the whole world once again, when we ensure that the virus does not reach our country and that no one suffers from the infections.
All the people should take an active part in the campaign to curb the expansion of the virus infection so as to reliably defend the security of our dignified state and the happiness of the people.

Novel Coronavirus Infection and Enhancement of Resistance
Nowadays, the novel coronavirus is rapidly spreading in the world. It is analogous to SARS, a devil infectious disease that drove the whole world into anxiety and horror in 2003.
It is still hard to predict how many people will be infected with it and lose their lives.
What is obvious is that infection with this virus is rapidly spreading by its contacts.
In our country where the human life is considered to be the most precious, strict measures have already been taken to isolate people coming back from abroad at borders, harbors and airports.
Preventive and anti-epidemic establishments and doctors in charge of inhabitants are engaged in the preventive activities.
It is said in an analysis of treatment for people infected with novel coronavirus that those above the middle age, rather than children, take up a great portion of the patients.
High fatality has been recorded among those with immunity deficiency caused by diabetes and other incurable diseases, in particular.
Experiences gained in the campaign against SARS and MERS clearly show that those viruses, however varied they are, cannot work on human bodies with strong resistance.
It is imperative to raise the resistance of human body through proper physique training.
Along with this, taking immunity activator or immunity optimizing drugs can also be helpful.
Our ancestors used to make wide use of Kaesong Koryo Insam to strengthen their bodies or to cure cold and other diseases.
Immunity activator or immunity optimizing drugs such as medicines made with processed Insam and Kumdang-2 injection developed in recent years are drawing the interest of the world community.
Research and efforts will be further deepened to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus and its infection.
