As fever cases swept the country, North Korean leader Kim Jong-UN lambasted his country’s reaction to its first verified COVID-19 epidemic as immature, accusing government officials of deficiencies and inertia, according to state media.

After the COVID outbreak was publicized last week, North Korea claimed 232,880 more people with fever symptoms and six more deaths. The number of people who tested positive for COVID-19 was not specified.

According to KCNA, Kim stated the “immaturity in the state capacity for coping with the crisis” heightened the “complexity and sufferings” in fighting the pandemic while presiding over a Politburo meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party on Tuesday.

The North has documented 1.72 million individuals with fever symptoms since it initially acknowledged the COVID-19 outbreak, with 62 deaths as of Tuesday evening.

The North, on the other hand, said the virus situation in the country was improving and that the party meeting discussed “maintaining the good opportunity in the general epidemic prevention front.”

The report did not go into detail on how the North came to such a good conclusion. Because the government has not begun widespread vaccinations and has limited testing facilities, many experts are concerned that determining the extent and speed of the disease’s spread will be difficult.
